Tonight I’m drinking tea and reading my novel out loud to myself. I like it when I can just focus on reading and let the critical part of my mind have a break because it can get overloaded. That’s when it begins to feel like nothing in my book is right. Sometimes it even getsContinue reading “Overloaded Critic?”

Attentive?
At this point in the cycle, I’m focused on how attentive I am to my needs. It is hard for me. I’ve been working on this for a long time. I often neglect my own needs in order appease those around me. Honestly, most times I don’t even realize I’m neglecting myself. I am stillContinue reading “Attentive?”
Pre and Post Work Routine
Today I learned that when I step into my daily routine, that I need to respect that space. Routine helps me transition from one activity to another. It helps me know what’s coming.

She brought up a lot of interesting points. one point that I found interesting was how classes can be so rigid it doesn’t allow artists to truly dig into their art in the same way greatContinue reading “Artistic Research”
Creative Fire
I love the way creatives look when they’re fully immersed in their work. Creative exploration is full of fun and games, at the same time it gets us out of bed in the middle of the night and in the morning. It’s love, the relationship we creatives have with our work. Just like marriage, creativeContinue reading “Creative Fire”
Here’s Some Writer’s Love

Sumner Redstone There’s a lot of days where I’d happily throw my computer across the room if I knew I could get a new one. I’d rather avoid the discomfort that comes with all this. I’dContinue reading “Here’s Some Writer’s Love”
