Art is like that daily manna-bread to me. There is always enough for the day. Gather it, eat it while it’s there, turn around and release it by sharing it.

“This mystery writer starts out by sketching illustrations of her story, and then knits together her tale from there. Her method got me thinking — this could be a very useful tactic for those suffering from writer’s block. Take a break from those obstinate words and just freehand the images bouncing around in your head instead.”

Cool! I wonder if it works in reverse… like if I get artist’s block, could I describe my painting in words…?
