52 Weeks of No TV

I gave up TV for one year in 2012.  Instead of TV, I made some THING every week.  In hindsight, it was a fecund year. (oh yeah, I used the word fecund)  It was the basis for many projects including my full production of Plasticland:  A Better Place.  It spawned unlikely artistic collaborations, built creative confidence and I got to smash a TV with a golden sledgehammer.  I haven't combed through this blog in awhile but I wanted to peruse it for inspiration.

Week 18's thing: Taking things for granted

(I hate talking about these things out loud.  I feel like I'm cursing myself if I tell you I applied to this.  I suppose there's only one way to break the curse.  Tell you I applied for it and get it.  I've been turned down for so many things I have applied for in the past.  It absolutely injures my pride.  When I went to the orientation, the speaker said this was usually the first grant artists get.  I would very much like to get this grant.  Something else I would not say out loud.  I don't want to jinx myself.  Maybe the real jinx is feeling like I can't share this part of the process with the world at large.  All the speed bumps along the way to something great.  For some reason, I want to make it look easy.  You should know - I sweat it.  A Lot.)
