I've often joked that I am ADD. Rocky and our neighbor Kelly simply roll their eyes patiently when I plunge myself into yet another project that will likely go unfinished. They know if they wait a few days, the phase will likely pass. I'm not sure if I really have an Attention Deficit Disorder. In reality, my attention can be quite focused ... for brief periods of time. An entire day can easily come and go when I am working on something without my noticing. Still, they have a point ... I do seem to move from interest to interest in short order. I get bored quickly. If anything, I'd say I pay too much attention to things. Thats the problem. Everything that I see gets me excited about trying something new and BAM, out goes the current project. I'm a photographer, no a writer, no a painter, no a woodworker, no a master teacher .... no, scrap all that I'm a (fill in the blank). This week, I'm sketching. Next week, who knows. Maybe underwater basket weaving. Let's just hope there aren't any engrossing Shark Hunting documentaries on PBS tonight.
New this week:
Wow honey I am impressed. Those are great sketches. You probably got that lack of attention gene from me..but you are much more creative with it! Just remember I am your biggest fan!
ReplyDeleteHey thanks mom! I'm so excited to get a comment! Coool. I always wondered where that attention gene came from. I seem to have already grown bored with sketching....so I'm off to find something new. School will be in session soon enough and there will not be any time for this tom foolery.
