Comments on: Fighting boredom http://www.intenselymagic.com/2007/10/fighting-boredom A different perspective of the strange little world of magic and conjuring Sun, 12 Dec 2010 17:31:56 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Smiling Mule http://www.intenselymagic.com/2007/10/fighting-boredom/comment-page-1#comment-102 Smiling Mule Wed, 17 Oct 2007 13:11:34 +0000 http://intenselymagic.com/2007/10/16/fighting-boredom/#comment-102 This is a great point. People often ask me how I can ever be bored when I love to practice so much. The problem is that I will never practice unless I am excited about it and my heart is in it. Even if I *want* to practice, I wont unless the spark is there. Otherwise you end up like a Wesley James who can follow technical instruction and replicate the mechanics, but not much else. The man seems to be motivated not by love of the work, but by love of the reputation. Like my blog footer says: "Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art." Take care.
