I had to abandon the page I was working on for a journal video because it just wasn’t going anywhere. I think it’s OK to abandon pieces that aren’t working – I see a lot of blah blah about how there’s no such thing as a mistake, but there is such thing as a piece that isn’t coming out the way you want. I guess the important thing is to not hate yourself about it. Fortunately I don’t have that problem: I just hate the piece since obviously it’s its own fault for not being awesome. 
Is it better to power through a piece that’s not working? At what point should you give it up?
OH speaking of powering through things that are dumb, or in this case kind of creepy, check it out:
Today was Sock Monkey Saturday at the American Visionary Art Museum. The place was packed – a couple hundred people turned out to make monkeys. Some people had obviously made some before. I obviously had not. I haven’t even named him yet, I’m afraid that will give him power. Of course, if I know his name, then I will have power over HIM. In conclusion, I am thinking too much about this monkey. He’s in my mind!!!!

Omg! You have the same bird cage as me! I <3 it. It's all big and purple.
I like it too! plus the birds seem to like it, as if their opinion matters.
