Zitat des Tages über Gekritzel / Doodle:
I would hardly call myself an artist in that sense; I doodle, I draw, I'm not a trained artist, I couldn't sit down and do an accurate portrait of anyone.
I know only two tunes: one of them is 'Yankee Doodle', and the other isn't.
I learned how to draw from being bored in school. I would doodle on the margins of my paper.
I love jotting down ideas for my blog, so I doodle or take notes on all kinds of stuff that inspires me: the people I meet, boutiques I visit, a florist that just gave me a great idea for an interior-design project, things like that.
I'm pretty rubbish, as we say in Britain, artwise, and I always envy people who can pick up something and even do just a little doodle of someone that looks vaguely like them. It's impressive.
I would recommend the short story form, which is a lot harder to write since you have to be so careful with words, until there is plenty of time to doodle through a novel.
What you do is, you just do the gig, enjoy, get on with it, and treat the rest as horse doodle.
I doodle all the time, even if I'm on the train.
