Chisel Like Michelangelo

While I'm no Michelangelo, I do share something in common with him—a love for creating. Michelangelo saw things others in his time could not, and in my own way, I see things too. Of course, my tools are far different from his. Instead of a chisel and marble, I work with modern tools like Canva, ChatGPT, Scrivener 3, and DaVinci Resolve.

Every time I step into my home office to create, I feel a sense of awe. Time loses meaning. I slip into a kind of trance, completely immersed in the process. I don’t fully grasp all the intricacies of these tools yet, but that doesn’t stop me. I’m striking a delicate balance between learning and doing—too much learning means less creating, while too little learning makes the doing more difficult.

The clock is ticking. I have a self-imposed deadline, just 38 days away. St. Patrick’s Day marks the unveiling of my next project, and until then, I must stay focused. So today, I remind myself:

"Chisel like Michelangelo, Michael. Chisel."

Special thanks to Mrs. Michelangelo, who patiently waits for her husband to come up for air and smell the roses. I’m alive and well—just deep in the work.

Have a great day!
