Do it on paper

Starving artist mentality is highly overrated.

I think that working creatively is really working from the inside out. Some of us do that much easier when we have a "cause". I thought that I was a poet many years ago. Poetry just flowed out of me page after page fueled by lost love, lost job, yearnings, and a desire to put emotions down on paper.It was really more akin to journaling all I needed to do was add visual elements and I would have had it! Wild Abandon visual journaling! I needed a few more years of "becoming" before I could pull it altogether {and with the help of Juliana Coles}. Not that I'm done or anything. "I think the journey is the destination" If you have not tried visual journaling try it. Like dance like no one is looking...just do it on paper.

A page from one of my journals. I was out taking pictures of graffiti. Tricky to do from the freeway.

Journal

Its Sunday night I added a new picture of a collage.Only half of it showed it self. There are actually four guys. I will half to learn about resizing in Photobucket.
You would think that by this age I would be more together. But really we keep learning about who we are. On the positive side I think its really a key element to staying young, that no matter how old we are we need to set aside the kind of fear that keeps you from your dreams.
