But at least if we aim for it we have a better chance of achieving it from time to time.<BR/>Pauline, Thank you, and Bette for inviting me. I enjoyed seeing old and new faces, and the discussion. I certainly left with a few things to think about as well. It was time well spent!Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05029942907223672805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2916622420471059281.post-56310532585072576612008-03-16T12:27:00.000-05:002008-03-16T12:27:00.000-05:00I thought "Deadlines" was the perfect place to tak...I thought "Deadlines" was the perfect place to take the time to thank you for coming to our NHPC Guild Meeting and sharing your insightful thoughts on starting a business in the Craft world of Polymer Clay. After reading how busy you are at the moment, it only makes me appreciate it all the more! Thank you again.<BR/>Pauline Duke, Vice PresidentAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11239860407504997083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2916622420471059281.post-24603038370104628762008-03-13T14:12:00.000-05:002008-03-13T14:12:00.000-05:00I find that when I am allowed to 'follow my muse' ...I find that when I am allowed to 'follow my muse' at will, I get nothing done or not enough to keep the electricity on, the rent paid and us fed.<BR/><BR/>On the opposite end of it, when my calendar starts to have more things booked per day and more deadlines written in then there are days or slots (I break work days into 4 slots of 2 or 3 hours - quiet of the morning, morning, afternoon, quiet of the evening) I get a lot done but suffer for it.<BR/><BR/>Best is somewhere in the middle but I haven't figured out how to get there yet!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2916622420471059281.post-60597359856806400162008-03-13T12:48:00.000-05:002008-03-13T12:48:00.000-05:00I remember in art school how all of the students h...I remember in art school how all of the students had to wait until the end of their final year before being allowed to create a project entirely without bounds. The teachers told us it would be harder where there were no limits or guidelines or deadlines. And they were right!
