(Nu)Sanctum, one month later

in

After spending the weekend building a porch and fighting with the eaves doors while K painted the outside trim and doors (right one still needs a second coat - she got rained out) white, I’ve done all I can until the solar install happens – floor and trim / corners being the final major bit of blood, sweat, and tears from my hand. After that, I move my office out there and start working “outside the house” for the first time in 15 years.

One more note here: the stark difference between the outside and inside is intentional: wanted to make it look like a typical garden shed from the outside while the inside is a wooden brain wonderland. Useful TARDIS-infused camouflage. For frame of reference, NuSanctum a month ago.

Thinking that the best (only?) way out of my creative doldrums (this one being a weird – or maybe not-so? –  combination of overwhelmed and under-fueled) is to declare creative bankruptcy and start from scratch: with the exception of previously-made commitments, everything else gets shunted to the backburner and I approach my practice as if I were starting right now, right this minute, embrace that whole beginner's mind thing (again).
