Discipline.

What is discipline and when is it appropriate to bend and allow creativity and inspiration to take over?

I have this problem where sometimes I sit down to or I know I'm supposed to practice or write one thing and then something else comes up. Sometimes its something completely new or sometimes its an expansion of something else that I had started before.

I know deadlines and priorities exist but I'm wondering when I can just give into that other thing that is begging to have attention. To completely give into it without resisting instead of choosing not to finish it because of the things that I put on the list before it. I mean, I made the list.

I'm supposed be working on strings and I've been avoiding it. I'm kind of apprehensive about it, I sorta don't feel like it and I just am avoiding the time and tediousness of it all even though I know there will be parts of it that I enjoy.

URG...i do this all the time. I have all of these great ideas in my mind but I drag my feet on realizing it. I want it to be tangible, to exist out of my own mind. It can be such a chore to get it out though and that's what I avoid.

Slowly. one foot at a time.
