one more try

“An opera begins long before the curtain goes up and ends long after it has come down. It starts in my imagination, it becomes my life, and it stays part of my life long after I've left the opera house.”
~ Maria Callas

You think you snuck past those exercises you didn’t like? Not so fast.
Missed a day ‘cause you were stuffing a turkey? You’re not off the hook yet.

TODAY’S CREATIVITY CHALLENGE:

Read over the November exercises (look under Archives on this site).

Which of the exercises was hardest for you? Why? Which triggered the most resistance or dread or numbness or apathy or anger or boredom or avoidance?

Pick one or two of the music exercises that seemed the least effective for you and try to tackle them one more time. Give yourself another shot at it and see what happens. Any movement? Results? Changes?

Commit to working at least one of these “uncomfortable” exercises in your artist toolbox. Why?

Why not.
