So I’m up here in Jersey with the ‘rents and it isn’t too bad. Trouble is, I’m not getting enough done and I’d rather be working with my professors in person on aspects of this thing, obviously.

And especially days after writing a chunk of my dissertation - the blog posts were really hard to come by! Be kind to yourself!<br/><br/>This post perked my curiosity especially...why Dallas? Don't you go to school in NJ? Is there a dissertation fairy down there hiding from us grad students? If so, tell her/him/it to send me more participants for my study!<br/><br/>Good luck with the thesis writing!

Good luck with the thesis writing!

I sympathize – it is tough to create, it’s tough to come up with an angle that a billion others haven’t already done.

And that’s why your blog is especial – anyone can link to a story in USA Today and then rant. Most folks do.

But you don’t. You reflect, consider and create. What you do is truly art. It can’t be rushed, faked or cranked out – it comes out on it’s own.

Art is pain. It hurts.
Art is essential – it’s in us and it’s got to come out.

It’s always frantic!
