How do you find a queen bee in a hive? Some beekeepers mark theirs with a colored dot but even then she can be a tough bugger to find. A Queen bee has her royal entourage. Her guards, secretaries, maids, publicist, advisor and greatest fans. If you want to find the queen bee, look for the little group of bees circling around another bee.
Procrastination is like the queen's royal entourage. The queen is your art. If you want to find out where your queen bee is, all you have to do is simply look for your greatest excuses and fears. They will be smothering what you care about most.
Some creators, such as Austin Kleon and Elizabeth Gilbert, have said, "Why make art if you're going to be miserable?" Of course they encourage trying and trying, but after everything fails, is it really worth keeping on?
