Signed up for the Art Nest Academy for their free course, just to get back into my own system, and to see how and where homework overlaps between their and my stuff.

People spend so much time on showing off their finished work, that the whole scene has this Wunderkind air: everyone practiced, but from what you see, you would never guess.

Don’t trust the narrative. When I get around to reading and studying my books about talent, I will let you know what that is.

For now, I will stick to Flow, after Csíkszentmihályi, rather than learning about talent, though.

Also, having invested in heavy sunblocking curtains was a good idea.

I am under the weather at the moment, which is interesting, coming back to reading Csíkszentmihályi after a brief exchange on threads.net.

If you are anything like me, the idea of reading something while feeling some sort of cold coming on, after two days of intermittent headaches, feels like something I won’t be able to do.

But, to be honest here, I am starting to have my doubts about this. Suspicions about the veracity. A need to put what I believe about myself to the test.

I am beginning to suspect that in reality, I can very well read books as long as I am conscious.

Time to get back to Creativity: Flow and the Psychology of Discovery and Invention again. My notes tell me that the last time I made notes about this book was not in spring, but last year in autumn.

PS: I need to take a few notes off of how Christoph Labacher put together his bookshelf, and by how I mean that he did that at all. I think it’s cool!

But for now, updating my microblogging section on my website will just do fine. If I can write this, I can damn well read as well.

If this turns out as expected, my sleep apnea recovery has basically given me rock bottom super powers. If my gut feeling was right, then I’m not at a loss, either.
