I have read so many blog posts recently that keep affirming this simple thing: If I want to get anywhere with art, I need to make painting and drawing a daily habit, incorporate it into a routine. I am already thinking about art first thing in the morning, it is not that big of a step anymore.
In the end, I shall better be painting already when the muse/creativity strikes, not the other way around.
May the force of habit be with me ;-)
Here are some of the blogs I read that touch on the subject. They are not scientific or study-proven, just experiences by other artists:
Abandoning the Preciousness by Stephanie Pui-Mun Law
How to Overcome Creative Blocks by Hannah Braime on lifehack.org
How Mundane Routines Produce Creative Magic by Mark McGuinness on 99u.com
