(no subject)
This is quickly becoming a bad habit. I'm wasting my days away. I have to be more productive. Lately, all I do is take a shower, eat a couple meals, chat with my friend Josh on Skype while he's at work, and surf around on Facebook.
I'm so incredibly bored I may start walking into walls just to break the monotony.
Yes, I know I should be writing. But I'm at a point where I'm discouraged and having trouble focusing. I keep thinking, why bother.
I recently purchased the video for Sunday in the Park with George from iTunes. If you haven't seen it, it's a play about art and the creation of art and the affect of art on an artist's relationships with people. It's amazing and inspirational.
The first few lines of the song Move On, are as follows:
George: I've nothing to say.
Dot: You have many things.
George: Well nothing that's not been said.
Dot: Said by you though George.
I keep repeating that line "Said by you though, George" over and over in my head, trying to convince myself to continue writing even if what I'm writing is utterly boring, unoriginal, uninspired, and will ultimately be read by no one. There are many smart people out there doing what I want to do much better than I will ever be able to do it. So trying to remind myself that my voice is still relevant in that mix is in and of itself a daunting task. I hardly have any energy left over to write by the time I convince myself that I should.
The version I purchased is the 1985 video starting Mandy Patinkin and Bernadette Peters. But you can watch a performance from the 2008 revival from the Tony awards on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rpp161oyF4
Well I'm hardly the first depressed writer the world has ever seen, so I should at least finish what I'm writing so I have something to show for all my moping about, right? :-)
Anything you do
Let it come from you
Then it will be new...
Give us more to see.
