i beg to differ about the "plop someone in a room without any distractions, give them a pad of paper, some pencils, and a rubber eraser and they're bound to draw" conclusion that you come up with. (i might have meant to take issue with it sooner but for the fact that i have not been around online keeping up with people's live much lately. i am getting better.) i believe that if i was in that situation i would end up not with art, but with a whole lot of writing. i am much more inclined to write than to draw, as i am sure some others are, and there for i have a problem with the "obvious" conclusion that you come to.
otherwise, i am glad to hear that your artwork (and presumably the rest of your life?) is going well. and yeah, i would say dont exercise before bedtime. it gets up chemicals in your brain and you feel more wide awake because of it is the simplest way to explain that.
Point taken. I guess I should have said "done something creative" to be more inclusive of writing...or origami or anything else you can do with paper. I suppose it's because drawing is the first thing that would occur to me if left alone with a piece of paper. I did not mean to make it sound like the obvious conclusion. As for exercising before bed, that's unfortunately when I seem to have the most energy, is late at night. Which is why I'm trying to adjust my sleeping habits. I definately wouldn't recommend it to anyone. And I've chosen not to exercise so late anymore either. How have you been doing lately? :-)
