MAGIC

“No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader.  No surprise for the writer, no surprise for the reader.”

- Robert Frost

I love the moment a piece of art or a story starts breathing.   This is the payoff in the creative process for all the trying and failing, all the anxiety, the doubt, the fear, the mountain of sketches and endless revisions.   The individual parts suddenly begin talking to each other.   One area of color to another, one story event to another…What had been a cobbled-together patchwork  becomes a unified harmony.    There was a general plan, but this was not foreseen.   Weeks and months of digging — finally the gold.   The art is now telling you where it’s going, what it wants to be.    Now we’re flying. 

Magic.

Treasure is always buried.

KEEP DIGGING...
