Is there such a thing as "Quitter's Remorse?"

[tawnybronzelyon]

Can someone explain why, after supposedly giving up on music, I found myself playing air bass guitar during the drive into work this morning? And enjoying it? I didn't even have any music playing, except for the tunes stuck in my head recently

Blogsphere....makes me think of Doctor Who...welcome to the Blogsphere filled with the Bloginites. *grins*

As to what inspires me artistically. I would have to say seeing other people's work and being amazed at it. So amazed that I try my hand at producing something akin to it as far as technigue, look, and overall pinash. beyond that tawny it's whatever pops into my head. Say I haven't drawn a big muscled bull in a while, what about a Roman gladiator, or just a plain wolf in the autumn. Whatever strikes my fancy and artistic mood, lately I've been doing more writing than drawing because well I like creating my own fun world or worlds.

For me, it just whenever I get some inspiration to play. It's usually after I take a break from playing for a little bit. And my reward is just hearing the music I can create, and letting go of my "I must play like this" attitude. Just letting the music flow. :)

"Letting go" is something I sorely need to learn. I'm such a control freak. Rack that up to German ancestry. ;)

Haha. Yeah. I found that if you just play for having fun, you'll make better music than if you force yourself to play something. It does take time to learn to let go, but just picking up your bass and playing something random is getting there. :)

I dunno lately...I'm trying to get through this weekend before I start back into drawing. F/F helped pull me out of a medically induced funk. As for the Bass...I'm still learning, so I'm picking things up left and right...
