I'm breaking my long silence for one, brief moment, and this seems the most appropriate place to share my thoughts on this one matter.

I've been in the company of several authors, cartoonists, directors, musicians and artists of all kinds whilst here at Evergreen and abroad in the world. I suppose it is not only self-reflection but also observation of all of these creators that throws this into the fore.

Why do we procrastinate?

Ah, it has nothing to do with muses. This is not a question of whether one "feels inspired" or has the need to be inspired in order to work. This is about those moments when these creators are creating. What causes us to create these side-projects that inhibit our true passions? Are they fleeting glimpses into our true goal that tantalize us; make us feel we have a new outlet for our 'muse' to explore and perhaps, then, hold on to it to complete our larger work? Or is it something so simple as a rise in ADHD amongst the generation I grew up in? Gods know; gods care. But I also care.

I feel that these side-projects are a waste. Are they what one truly wishes to do? Do they create a new appreciation for one's skills, or new insight? Typically, no. Not for this author, and I have found myself subject to the syrenian call of multiple projects. In fact, I have several pending works right now; several promised designs to be made into gift or public work. But this, again, makes the massive body of artists whom do the same like my brothers and sisters.

And so I must give what little advice I can on the matter: make one thing your passion. Make it your Path. And when you come to the end of your Path, and it is perfect, find a new one, and make it your Path to perfection. After all, if you never create anything, how can you be a creator? What is an artist without art?

Nothing. Goodbye.
