Although at times this blog seemed redundant, there were some good tips in there for artists or creators of any sort. In here were definitely mottos, sayings and mantras that I have heard before. These sayings are only this way because they are mostly true and very useful especially when one isn't thinking straight.
I think the most important message that I got out of the blog is how an artist shouldn't always settle and go with the flow, but really define themselves in their art and devote themselves to that art. I understand that this practice isn't always easy, it is frustrating most of the time but sometimes it is necessary if you want to the benefits.
In addition to working out self identity, I thought that the article did a fairly good job in explaining writer's block, or in this case, creative block. Having experienced a few of these myself, I understand how debilitating it is and I understand it is not a place you want to be stuck in for a long period of time. Overall, I'm glad this writer took her frustrations and made it into something useful and good things did happen in the end.
This article is chock full of cliches, and while I really don't appreciate this type of writing and think it is a ridiculous, inefficient way to get a point across, the right cliches were chosen. All of the points in the article, like "you are your own worst enemy" and "It's the work they're rejecting, not you" are common phrases, but very true and easily overlooked and forgotten. While I did not learn anything from this article, everything it says is, indeed, true. It's really just a list of some good things to remind yourself of. That's about it, though.
