I was just putting my ear down close to my soul and listening hard. First my stomach growled (broccoli) and then I heard the sound of my bliss playing drums and bands of percussive ideas exploding with sparking flashes into shuttles of aha moments- you know, the creative flow and floorshow.

 

It's a passion.

 

I'm having a love affair with my writing and art, go have your own affair - passion makes the process amazing and then the results take care of themselves. Creativity is indeed, it's own reward.

Go over to Creativity-Portal and see the new column which tells how astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson encourages us to Make Stuff Up. Oh yeah, there's a few creative tools I share below... that I made up.

 

Thanks for reading this. I know you're busy. Breathe. Find your tribe. Listen to a song that inspires my spirit to write. I hope it inspires yours.

 

 

Bent Ideas Straightened and Shot Through Your Sky,

 

Writing down in your journal what that voice slings at you heightens your awareness of it and gives you power to do something other than passively believe it.

 

Any of these tyrant generated statements sound familiar?

 

If you hear these or any other messages that don't feel real supportive... you're not alone. Tyrannical voices in the creative process are a common part of the process - most of us have them, and those that us who don't have them really shouldn't have had that lobotomy. It's a cop-out.
