When Will I Be Ready?

When Will I Be Ready?

Every single day I sit down to write. And every single day I tell myself I am writing. The truth is, I rarely write. I write notes. I write ideas. But I don’t write full sentences, paragraphs, chapters, stories. Every day I study. I watch videos. I read blogs. I research plotting charts and how to develop characters. I learn. I am a student of writing and therefore I write notes. And every day I ask myself: When will I…

Week 21 Challenge: Nude

Week 21 Challenge: Nude

Enjoy the challenge, and remember to push…

Week 19 Challenge: Surrealism

Week 19 Challenge: Surrealism

Surrealism is defined by releasing the creative potential of the unconscious mind. The idea is broad, and the results are limitless – after all, that is the point of surrealism. To never be constrained by your own limitations, our own smallness. I love creating surreal works. It lets you break free of your conscious mind. We could all use a little more of that. I’ll pull some of the art that I see this week to feature! Use the hashtag…
