This is not related to your question, but to running and creativity. You may have read it already, but I’m reading What I talk about when I talk about running, by Murakami, and I think you’ll like it. It’s about running but also about his writing process, very, very interesting!

Today my steps will contain housecleaning, breadbaking, kids and hopefully making two blocks for my Soul Food. And I know tonight I will fall sound asleep knowing I did the best job I could do because I did my best and loved doing it.

I am also doing a hexagon quilt and have been doing it for some time now, I stumbled across your blog via flickr a few days ago and love your analogies, I hope this is the right word, but I like the word today anyway.

Thank you again for sharing such an inspirational post. My thing is that I have done a blog post! After a little gap, that kept getting bigger the more I thought about it. I kept thinking, I have no photos, I have done nothing, I have made nothing, what is there to write? But, I realised I had done things, I did have some photos, I could string a few words together. Now, I feel better

Terrific post today, thank you very much for the reminder! I’m sure I’m not the only one who gets flustered by entirely self-imposed deadlines. I, too, have a little hexagon project going, and I have to take a step backwards every once in awhile and remind myself that this is *handwork,* it’s supposed to be *relaxing* and that nobody expects it to be finished in record time. Lainie’s right – I’d rather take some interesting detours than be the first to cross the finish line.

Very nice post! It’s a marathon, not a sprint . . . helps to know where you’re going, though; that’s where I often get stuck and find myself on some strange detours. I guess I’ll be the one crossing the finish line long after everyone else, but with some interesting stories from a few cul-de-sacs along the way.
