time

Does anyone else lose track of time when they are practicing? I got up early today. No idea why. Started practicing at 9am then looked at the clock, it was 10.45! I must be pretty slow because I only wrote about 3 pages in that time haha.

Yes! If I want time to pass quickly, I will work on calligraphy because then time flies!  I wish it were the other way around. Slow and steady wins the race.

Its funny how some people recommend only half an hour to an hours practice at a time, I dunno if I can keep it that short lol

Oh, I fall victim to the calligraphy vortex all the time. Once I told myself at 10pm that I would practice and write for only an hour. The next time I looked at my phone it was 2am. I don't even think I did that much writing that night...maybe like 5 or 6 pages.

I'm so guilty of this. I'm naturally inclined to be a night owl, so when I fall into a calligravortex it can easily turn into 5am without my seeing a single thing. Not so great when you've got work at 8.30am ...

... but worth it, every single time.

So IT IS a common syndrome that affects calligraphers everywhere!  Once i start i cant stop and neither does the clock.

I only have "time" during Saturdays especially that I'm pretty much hectic with house chores, taking care of my daughter and my husband, and having a full-time job. And this "time" that I have runs so quickly that I just want to make each second last a minute and each minute, last an hour. Haha!

Oh that calligravortex!

Used to be i only had my art black hole, then papercraft lost time, now i have calligravortex too... O.o

[Ergative]

Yeah, I can easily spend a whole day working on a project and listening to podcasts. It's so meditative.

[Estrella]

It's a beautiful syndrome, lol.
I easily lose track of time when writing.
My husband converted the home office into my "studio" recently and I'll tell my husband "I'm going to the studio for a bit" and for some reason he always responds with "what are you going to do?" Like he doesn't already know! Makes me laugh, every time! And he just smiles.
Next thing you know, I go into our bedroom and he's already sleeping, snoring... oops! It's 1:00am!!!

Well it is good to see other people experience this as well. I find as I progress I am getting faster and I get more pages out but the time sink still stays the same haha
