I was bemoaning to a friend earlier tonight, what with the major icy weather event we’re having here in Austin, that I seldom get holed up in my house long enough that I connect with my creative drive to produce something artistic. The weather here is just so nice year round (until it is definitely fucking not nice at all) that I never ever want to be cooped up long enough to create. I want to be out elsewhere, possibly near other people, wasting my life.
Gone are the days when I lived where the weather was so shitty for months on end that, to save myself from the gray and cold, I’d burn all the lights and grab an art pad or flip the switches on some music gear or open an editor and write something. Hell, I barely paper-journal anymore.
My Eros is just completely switched off.
What do I do to save it? It’s still there, waiting in hunger. How do I turn it on again?
