I’ve loved David Shrigley for a long time but with these recent pieces it’s like he’s narrating my life
How do creative people set up their desks? Aaron Trinder visited several offices to find out.
I like David Miller’s quote:

“I am going to be rather hard-nosed and say that if you have to find devices to coax yourself to stay focused on writing, perhaps you should not be writing what you’re writing. And, if this lack of motivation is a constant problem, perhaps writing is not your forte. I mean, what is the problem? If writing bores you, that is pretty fatal. If that is not the case, but you find that it is hard going and it just doesn’t flow, well, what did you expect? It is work; art is work. Nobody ever said it was easy. What they said is: “Life is short, art is long.”
— Ursula K. Le Guin
