iever 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.

When what you are really doing is working into the piece..
Communicating with the medium..
That quote about Picasso.. him learning how to paint as a child..

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.

This book is the book for you..

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.

I ache to work with my hands..
I went to the doctor for a full check up.. (I am just fine) but he looked at my arms.. and one arm has fat on it and the other is lean and mean..
He said why are your arms different..
I told him that I work for hours with my working hand and arm and the other just holds the fabric or whatever..
I told him that my other arm.. sometimes cramps..

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...

Different.. all the time..
I had a work group in my city.. AA people..
We would go to the park and read the book and then share on it.. If you can find this.. its a very good thing..
Sometimes its listed in the local paper..
