As someone pointed out, there are only a couple of sleeps before the journaling prompts begin. Still time to join in. Just complete the contact form below.
It’s free! You can write/draw in your journal or use your blog as the writing place. Your choice.
Following a really successful Be Creative weekend we are taking another step towards doing something creative each day.
A series of quick journal prompts are published over here. No rules – everything is ‘good enough’, no mistakes – just a gentle little exercise to make you more aware of your surroundings – and maybe use the experience to create something just for you.
No costly materials are involved because I’ll be encouraging you to use what you have. If you want to learn to draw huge faces, enormous flowers or try lots of new materials – this probably isn’t for you. However, if you would like to just capture your thoughts and moments of the coming two months take a look here. Questions? Ask or comment below.
Maybe this is a strange place to take up a blogging challenge, but it has made me think this afternoon, so I’m turning it around a little and tossing this post out there for you all to think about and hopefully you will respond. You can always leave a comment at the bottom – or use the contact form if you want to keep it private and just between you and me.
Anyway – the challenge. What do I wish I had known at the age of 20? I promise I won’t make it too long a post, and I intend to keep it appropriately focussed for this blog.
1 I wish I had known that doing a drawing a day would make a lifetime of inspiration available and that I really would improve in leaps and bounds.
2 I wish I had known that I could look at criticism objectively and use it to improve my work. It’s too easy to become downhearted and take it too personally sometimes
3 I wish I had known that practice never will make it perfect – but that practice is fun – and the journey towards perfection will never end but become more and more exciting.
I have many other ‘wish I had known….s’ but these will do for now. I’m throwing it out at YOU – what do YOU wish YOU had known that would make your current creative life so much easier/more enjoyable?
Don’t forget that it’s currently the Be Creative Weekend. Lots going on and some wonderful results appearing. Hope you will join us if you haven’t already done so.
