erleichda.

i am borrowing this from Tom Robbins, and it's the best advice ever: "lighten up". 

simple, no?

also, get some sleep. it helps.

i realize this is neither deep nor academically relevant, but one must not forget the small things. especially when the drama of creativity turns the failure to remember and practice them into obsessions. 

"Successor II" opens in a few hours, and I am, perhaps foolishly, full of fear. I must find a way to return to my ritual(s). 

and, more importantly, I must find a way to return to me, instead of trying to be someone else, something I am not. 

yes, all the best advice, and all the best practices, are quite simple.
