So what to do while you’re waiting? Maybe you’re waiting for that next assignment, that next conference, or contest?
Well, I’m going back and practicing all the stuff that sometimes gets overlooked when we’re on a tight deadline or have gotten a little rusty, or maybe just too close to see it. Ya know what I mean? I believe that you’re never to old or experienced to learn something, all over again. It’s being creative with your time and nurturing your art. So go create something while you wait!
“Assiduus usus uni rei deditus et ingenium et artem saepe vincit.” ~ “Constant practice devoted to one subject often outdoes both intelligence and skill.” ~ Cicero.
I think in any craft, it is important to go back to fundamentals every once in a while. Flourishes are more fun, for sure, but fundamentals are the bedrock.
