Artist Way

It’s not hard to see that I’ve been blocked for the last few years. 2019 began the death of who I was and the birth of someone I’ve never known. Will I finally finish the Artist Way? Will that finally push my creativity back to the forefront of my mind? So far I’m one week in, about as far as I’ve ever got through this course, and I’m feeling both excitement and fear. The morning pages aren’t going as well as I hoped. I’m not able to do them every morning so I’m attempting multiple ways to write three pages every day. The first week I wrote in the journal, missed one day and had one day where I video recorded my thoughts instead of writing them. Today I attempted to create a document for a place where I can write one full page or write for 15 full minutes. I haven’t figured out which to do yet, but maybe it doesn’t matter. Like none of this matters anyway and the goal is to force me out of the block and push me towards creativity.

So far I haven’t created anything, but the thoughts are there. I’ll be ordering some clay and ink pads for an artist date project, Mandi gave me an idea to work with collages that pushed my tarot idea a little further into view. As the seasons change I’ll hopefully continue to update this blog with projects and images. Wish me luck!
