i totally agree about anyone being more than welcome to join at any time -- or lurk, whatever they feel is best for them. this is kind of a group attempt at growing and self healing -- the more insights, experiences, etc, the more we are all going to learn, imo
i am still on the tools chapter, but am finding myself excited and a little scared -- just schedule wise, i've been so all over the place since reunion, i know i'll have to begin to add more structure to my day.
ever since the first few days of my post reunion crash there has been a little voice whispering in side me to stop talking/writing/reading and "get it out". i mess around with lots of visual arts, but never think of it as art really, at least, i think of what i am doing now as practice. i read somewhere that for every good painting it takes 2,000 bad ones, so i'm trying to get a few of those out of the way lol. i majored in creative writing in college and afterwards always felt i had over-educated myself on this to the point my inner censor wouldn't let me squeeze out anything...so with visual arts have always been determined to focus only on technique, and not "art history" etc, so that my mind would stay more out of it.
i find now as i get older my writing is starting to force it's way out -- i stopped trying years ago and kind of gave up the fantasy of writing anything good -- now i don't seem to care so much if what i write is good or not...i just need to write. i think i'm ready for this book.
so, today i will try to get finished with the tools part and read chapter 1. also, i don't know if all artist's way books have this, but mine had suggestions for group study - i can post them, but maybe all of them do? i am sure we'll stumble onto a way that works for each of us...
welcome shadow rider - lurking or not, you're now part of the group!
