Dross

In the process of being creative as I reconnect to a medium or just actual time physically making I always feel I have to practice through crap first. An artist friend of mine always referred to it as dross.
The problem is I'm grumpy about being in that creative stage I want to be constantly brilliant. I am impatient to get to great work. So this morning I'm sultry, not for long... but for now my best work awaits to be brought in by practicing through dross.

    'dross' is an interesting name for this part of the creative process, but when in this part myself I have found the glimmers of ideas and new levels of control--muddle on, can't wait to see what's out there for you on the other side

    I'm not ready for the positive part of the muddling through has a flair of discontent. Now I'm okay with that 'it too shall pass', as always Rose thanks you. Even if my blog remains a dialogue between us that I am grateful for.
