Commitment: The act of committing, pledging, or engaging oneself.
Commitment: consignment, as to prison.

It's funny how commitment can really play both roles, at the same time. I have committed to Create 365 in order to engage myself in the creative process everyday, in some capacity. The hope is that I'll do the work and hopefully continue to improve as the year goes on. And I'll tell you, it's hard, damn it. And that's where the "as to prison" comes in. Some nights it's pure joy and nights like tonight, well... it wasn't. I threw pencil, charcoal and watercolor all on the paper in my fit of frustration. However, I'm committed, so I kept working. It's got a lot of issues but I have to remind myself that it takes a lot of practice and some days are just going to suck......and that's ok. 
 I'm either committed or need to be committed ~ we'll see at the end of the year.
