“To create is to move into the unknown – move into the mystery of yourself, to have feeling, to awaken buried perceptions, to be alive and free without worrying about the result. But the mind is conditioned to think it wants a nice painting, a nice tree, beautiful scenery. No! Maybe you want monsters. Maybe you want chaos, maybe you want a mess. Maybe it will feel really good to paint an ugly painting. Maybe that would open your being much more than a masterpiece…”

Nice Quote! Thanks for sharing. 🙂
Goes along with the saying, sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't. There are days I enjoy writing from the villain's pov and days I can't. I wonder if it coincides with the weather. Hmmm…
