Excuses and reasons:
- pregnancy resulting in physical disability
- motherhood is a full-time job and they weren't joking
- MA at inferior institution leading to an average (rather than stellar) grade as a result of above
- back to work (lots of time to read, think, daydream but no time to act or create)
- sleep broken every night between 2 - 4 hours at a time (now at almost 11 months of sleep deprivation)
- seem to fall ill with bloody flu viruses when I have time off
- relationship "issues" sapping self-belief
- delay in realising finished material outcomes sapping self-belief
- redefinition of self in light of motherhood
Conclusion:
- new work must be started now
- blog as sketchbook and taxonomic resource for ideas and interests
- blog essays for article submissions
- blog reviews and analysis
- less relationship more creative endeavour
- avante-garde "art into life" approach
- broken sleep as meditation / visualisation tool
- enjoy process of redefinition
- research can be done at work
- take work seriously but not oneself
