I've been finding some rhythm with the keeping of the notebook, or visual diary as its called in Art School. I always struggled to keep a visual diary, as every time I opened it, I found the blankness of the page daunting. The blankness of my mind even scarier. Now, occasionally, I catch the ideas before they drift off into the fog. I have learned how to use one, mostly through years of trying and failing. Giving up. Starting again.
Having a visual diary, is incredibly helpful as it is the capturing of ideas rather than the refining of them that is important. I was told this often. I had only ever understood it as a restriction and a chore until recently.
These two are drawn from memory from real life.
