I'm listening to Marc Maron's WTF podcast, he's interviewing Ben Stiller. And all I can think is keep working, keep working. Don't worry about what others are doing or what you're not doing, just keep working. I try not to look at the clock if I'm running late, I just try and plow through it and get out the door. The time I waste looking at the clock, thinking I might be late is contributing to my tardiness. So I just put my head down and keep working. There are plenty of people creating and discovering ideas that push their future but I can't worry about it or think about it too much because it stalls my own productivity. So just keep working and something good and bad will come out of it.
I do find in my art and music that mistakes are my friends. I was practicing a solo piece on guitar I was jamming out and I screwed up and that mess up ended up being the intro to the tune. So I'm writing this, listening to professional entertainers talking about their work ethic instead of seeing what's on the tube. Thinking I need to do more and learn more from professionals so I can provide for my family. My buddy Randy Martinez is a inspiration, he a professional artist that's living the dream and he gives me something to strive fore.
I need to stop typing and keep working.
