I mean February and it's getting on for May I have been sleep at the wheel. Where does the time go? Well let's backtrack and have a little think. I've been on a retreat, called: "The Clark Creative Workshop and Life-Skills Think-Tank and Totally Self-enforced Re-Evaluative Micro-Examination of sorts." Or "CCWLSTTTSEREMES")
I'm still working on the title.
It involved a lot of thinking about Creativity. How it works on us, and how we work it. In particular, I have been thinking about creative blocks.
Like writer's block only, well for Creative types everywhere. It has so many links to other emotional or mental malaises, such as 'Overwhelm' and 'Procrastination' but really how Creativity - or at least the desire to be Creative is under siege from so many different suppressing impulses and ideas.
The good news is I have begun to put together a workshop for Creative people in my locality, and am designing an online programme and face-to-face experience for whole to attend. I even;t set a date, or got a venue, but hey,I'm creative, right? I'll get something done. So if you are reading this after my rather long hiatus, welcome back and watch this space.
In the meantime, here is a link to the last Vanity Dog release in which my advice to Creative people and people who scorn Creativity alike is: "Let it go."

In the meantime, I'm busily working on the next Van Dog demos and of course, the pilot tracks for my next Album which is under the working title of:
"If She Floats, She Must Be A Witch"
It's a homage to the women in my life.
Nah, only kidding'.
