I justify my forum time by the incredible amount I learn here about Poser and Bryce, as a newbie. And there's the companionship and the exposure to new people and ideas and the LOL's......! But I do feel guilty some days because I spend so much time reading and just looking at artwork. Then it helps to remind myself that creativity is not a faucett, to be turned on full and left that way indefinitely. It's more like a stream winding it's way across varied terrains, occasionally sinking into the soil to run deep underground, invisibly. And the stuff it picks up deep down there seems to invest the next piece of artwork with something unexpected and really cool. So I allow myself to browse the forums and galleries, even to spend an occasional whole day just surfing sites, searching for a freebie that will spark a new idea. It's all about being gentle with your artistic self and, as said above, going with the flow.
