We all have those days, though I thought these had great potential- sometimes this can be part of the 'birthing' phase.

And now I have a whole new perception of you, Leslie, to complement that one of the peaceful, silent, zen kind of person. What a contrast to think of you with Talking Heads on full blast!<br /><br />It's always reassuring to know that other artists have those sort of days though I wouldn't have guessed it by the work you produced! I had a horrible hate-my-work kind of day on Saturday. My strategy is to remind myself that a bad day means a good one is coming :) Sunday was better!Cherry Jeffshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09314804604605676735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196169128467898547.post-67898634579682824402011-07-25T00:27:33.951-07:002011-07-25T00:27:33.951-07:00Great post, great work, and yes I have those days ...Great post, great work, and yes I have those days too!<br />Making a cup of coffee, sitting in my chair, and really staring down the work in silence often helps me.Carole Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03761259557061105360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4196169128467898547.post-75847200767220660762011-07-25T00:20:02.179-07:002011-07-25T00:20:02.179-07:00Love the talking heads lyrics!
