If we are artists by profession, it's because we want and need to create and we take it seriously.  So we get up every morning and create just like office workers commute to their workplace each day - this is what we do, or is it really?

Artists are not machines that can crank out quality products regularly.  Regardless of our level of experience, we do get hit by some sort of creative block once in a while.  I had my share during my not-so-long artistic career.  Each time it happened, it was quite a struggle but, gladly, I was able to see it pass somehow.  In fact I have just had a pretty bad case that lasted a long time.  The thought that it might never end was scary, to say the least.

An artistic journey is a bumpy road.  Sometimes we forget that but it is very important to keep doing what we love no matter what the obstacles.
