I love that you wrote this entry. I’ve gone through my life thinking I’m a huge procrastinator and looking at it in a negative light. But in the last year, and through talking to several other “creative”-type personalities, I’m finding that many creative minds also have a hint of perfectionism. Which makes sense, I mean, if you’re going to create something, whether it be art, or music, or some other kind of project, you want it to be just right. I have so many unfinished songs that i’ve started and now that I’m getting into photography a little, I have all these ideas in my head, but trouble getting started. I guess we need to embrace the “procrastination” for what it really is…time to stew (or marinate!)

Ooo … marinating. I like that. Mind if I plagiarize occasionally?

Maria, you bring up a good point. Perhaps the whole stewing/marinating analogy appeals to me because it implies that I can cook. It’s not like I ever get to use those words for their intended meaning or anything …

I agree with this post. All of it. I went through the same thing, getting mad at myself for waiting so long on stuff. but I have been doing some thinking and reading lately, and this confirms the whole creative-process-thinking-gathering-storing idea. I refer to it as “marinating.”
