My sketchbook is havin a day off today…

My sketchbook is havin a day off today…
Yes my sketchbook, my art journal
Is takin a day off…Wednesday off

Pages need to relax for tomorrow….
Also my markers, my gel pens need a personal night off
Even my pencil, is that ok?

My sketchbook was like, “I’m tired would you mind
Not usin me today? Don’t draw, don’t write on me?
My paper skin needs to breathe.”

I said ok sketchbook…
You can calm..you can chill for a day…
I’m goin to go over here and write poetry
Mind my business….

My sketchbook needs a break
That’s ok…
You don’t have grab it…
You can use an Apple Pencil instead
Along with an iPad…

And just sketch your soul out if you want to…
On the screen…create a pretty picture or a
Serious piece…

It’s your originality…

If you ever feel like you have no mood
For creative juices right now,
That’s fine…

Let your Apple Pencil take a break as well…
Hey art supplies need a break, too…

Let your hands rest…
Soon or later
Imagination will come to your door….
There’s no rush….

My sketchbook needs a day off
So is poetry
So is stories

Cos A writer and an artist
Needs a day….

We as creators don’t need to
Get burned out,
Stressed out,

Take a day off
Take a break

Maybe tomorrow
The ideas will come
Or after tomorrow
Who knows…

I just want you to know that
My sketchbook needs a day off…
A Wednesday off…
