Just work. And keep working.
Jerry Saltz, How to be an artist
Drag my unremarkable ass to the gym.
Sit my ass down and read the books I need to read.
Haul my ass to the chair and do the work with my therapist(s).
Put my ass on the sofa and listen to the people I love.
Get my ass in front of my computer and apply for jobs.
While I’m there, I (on my ass) need to do some writing.
Drag my unremarkable ass to the desk, chair, sofa, or table and do the fucking work I say I want to do, to have what I think my best life could be.
Nothing changes if nothing changes.
I either put my ass where it needs to be to do the work or I will never be the artist I say I want to be.
Do the fucking work. Do the fucking work starting now.
Work, you big baby! Work is the only thing that banishes the curse of fear.
