Overstimulated by Creativity?

October 1st, 2008  Posted at   Art Every Month/Artists Way

I am on week 5 of the Artist’s Way.  It started out slow, with a feeling that I wasn’t really making progress.  Yesterday, however, a burst of creativity overwhelmed me.  I actually have two mixed media works in progress and the idea for a third.

I’m a little worried though.  I tend to get these bursts of enthusiasm over something, spend a lot of energy on it and, after a short period of time, burn out and become totally disinterested.  So the question is, is this burst of creativity new or is it the same old thing which will burn away, leaving me a dried husk until the next new thing comes along?

Anyone else experience this or know how I can nurture this flame into a lifelong passion?
