Question for all

As someone that loves to create, do you find that every time you see a "new to you" work of art your adrenaline races, and you want to go out that very minute, get all the necessary tools and equipment and get right to work on a like project? Or on the other hand, you might love the new work, but are content to just admire it, perhaps purchase it, but have no desire to partake in the creation of a like work.
The other day I saw a cartoon that said, "Whenever someone asks me why I love to create, I tell them it is because as a kid I ate school paste." I think that is what happened to me! Love, love, love to create.
The world isn't quite right when I am not creating or at least thinking about creating.
The other day I also heard from one of the new artists at Seranya Studios Art Boutique that a lot of artists have ADD. But, that was meant in a good way, and I do believe that I fit that bill. There is a book titled 'I Could Do Anything if I only Knew What it Was',written by Barbara Sher, that indicates this jumping around of ones mind to conquer it all is quite all right. It is the feeling of exhilaration, starting something new and striving to do it the correct way, or should I say--"The Artist's Way". Ahhh, that is another book written by Julie Cameron.
So many books, so many projects, so much to do, and just not enough time to accomplish it all, but we can try, can't we? Do you find that you love one type of art and one way of creating or are you like me and just simply HAVE to try everything?
Yup, my name is Lynda and I have ADD. There, I have said it, it sounds right, and you know what? I accept that with pride.
Let us know your thoughts. Would love hearing from you.
Stay tuned.
