I am going to start filtering some of my more private musings. Since blogger does not have a tool for that, you will need to visit my Live Journal and ask to be friended there. I will continue to post Daily Gratitude and other subjects here. There is also a FAQ for my Journal at the same link.
floodgates leaking
| Wednesday, April 05, 2006 @ 13:14 The point of following the course described in The Artist's Way is to unblock my creativity. It is also referred to as "recovering" the artist that has been lost in the habits, programming, and addictions of daily life. After four weeks (two weeks spent on the first plan week due to TJFH), I am seeing definite progress in my life. My dreams are more vivid and frequently remembered. My vocabulary has expanded beyond the easy word choices I've followed in e-mail and journaling. My appreciation for nature, art, and creativity has skyrocketed. I see flow and rhythm, connections and cycles everywhere. To quote Paulo Coehlo, "My soul has grown." My conversations have exploded in frequency, depth, and subject matter. I have been inspired with names and logos for several business projects and started websites for them. Life is simultaneously exciting and funny and tragic and scary and hopeful.... and my verbosity bubbles from a trickle to a stream to a river that is pushing at the floodgates. My artist is many things: abstract painter, collage-maker, Master, sadist, spiritual guide, but at heart, she is a Writer. So, she writes. Or she thinks about things to write. Or she re-writes things she has written. Or she writes lists of topics that she will write into posts, e-mails to discussion lists, webpages, or workshops. Or she writes pages of notes and snippets that will be woven into form at a latter date. What you see now are the leaks running through the cracks of the floodgates. The words that manage to break past the block of the editor - the internal censor -- the fear and doubt. Soon those cracks will widen and break and either you'll find a plethora of journal musings or I'll disappear to write that long-threatened novel offline. Consider yourself warned.
