you just do it

I heard an awesome interview by Kerri Miller this summer with Dan Wilson, of Trip Shakespeare and Semisonic, in which he talked about how you have to do the work of artistic creation in order to make anything.  You don't only work when inspired, but you work, and maybe, if you're lucky, you're in the studio when the muse shows up. (He says a lot of good stuff here).

I'm here, writing.  Every night.  Ugh, it's hard.  There's no uninterrupted time; I have multiple jobs and a family and there are PILES of laundry downstairs.  I'm not complaining now, just naming the excuses that my little brain tries to serve me, but as Elizabeth Gilbert said recently, your excuses are boring.  My excuses are boring.

Let's talk about all the reasons we can't make art.  Can't tell stories.  Can't paint. 

Blah blah blah blah.
