Create. Re-create. Terminate.

Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which one to keep.- Scott adams.

Being back to blogging is not as easy as it looks. I have at least ten drafts waiting to be finished and posted, at various states of completion. However, it bothers me that I am not able to pick one topic, stick to it and see it through. Every time I think something is worthy enough or good enough to be posted, I end up slashing and dashing it - too long, too short, too personal, too impersonal, rhetoric, poetic, apologetic. uff.... Makes me believe in this quote -

The chief enemy of creativity is "good" sense. - Pablo Picasso.

Indeed, nowadays I am plagued by the thought that nothing is good enough for my 'train of thought'.

I have a new found admiration for the painful process that every author - in the real or the web world - goes through before they finally publish their creation.

You have to only but look, and you see a world full of creative people - none of which is limited to the words. Pick a topic and somebody is sure to exist who will dazzle you with their creativity in it. Makes you wonder why you are a jack of all trades and a master of none. I can sew, embroider, knit (self-taught, might I add), crochet, draw, paint, sketch, color etc.  generally am good with my fingers (typing aside)... But, if you ask me what I have created using one or all of the above - the list is pathetically small. quite negligible almost.

I start. I do not finish. And then I do not even start. I wonder is it initiative I lack, or time? or passion? or all.. or none. Or often it is the plague of 'good' as spoken of above.

Here's wishing I will make the time to create something other than a balefully somber future full of to-do lists.
Damn. Where did all the creativity disappear?
