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?”

Artist Dates Still Going!
I challenged myself a few weeks ago to have artist dates once a week until the new year! Today’s artist date was a stay at home date. I took my time matching socks and folding warm laundry while listening to a The Bible Project talk about apocalyptic writing in the bible. ( Here’s the linkContinue reading “Artist Dates Still Going!”
Wait a Minute
What helps you prioritize? What helps you be more empathetic? What helps you live your life in a more fulfilling way? What stories do you tell yourself about your divine purpose? Your beliefs are important to me. I found myself objectifying a general group and had to get real honest with myself. That’s their beliefContinue reading “Wait a Minute”
Wild Animals
I enjoy writing about the mysterious happenstances that come about from wild animals. Could have something to do with watching Aesop’s fables over and over on VHS for months straight as a kid. I also love Narnia. We finished book one with my youngest. We went to books with less words so she’s able toContinue reading “Wild Animals”
Writing in Bed
It’s always interesting to see what writers do to write most efficiently. My favorite place to write is in my bed. I’m most efficient here at this point in my writing journey because I can do a few things other than writing to settle myself before bed. I’m always ready for bed when I startContinue reading “Writing in Bed”

Today I listened to an interesting lecture by Adrian Piper titled What, exactly, is the Idea of Artistic Research? 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
Success is not built on success. It’s built on failure. It’s built on frustration. Sometimes its built on catastrophe. 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”
