RE: The Artist's Way, Week One. The Beggining.
Just kidding! Just how I feel sometimes. Seriously though, I'm going to hunt this book down. Hopefully I can find more creative outlets that won't cost an arm and leg, or cause the family to want to stamp it out of existence.
The course is free other than the book, mine was a $1 thrift store find. I feel like it is scary thinking about being creative when it has been stomped out of you your whole life by others (especially family). It was the opposite for me. The narrative was for me "if you are not being an artist you are wasting your life. If I was you I would do it more" I moved out at 16 then was put down when I wasn't creating because learning to take care of myself then pay bills. Then I was a tattooist, a bad profession for a super sheltered naive little girl. Art became an enemy. I miss the raw love of creating something beautiful because it feels good. Your writing is really good and very creative. I hope to see some picture art from you someday :)From what I have seen on your blog you seem to be comprised of creative flow.
PS the picture in your comments made me laugh.
Yes it is really hard being in a restricted environment. It was very refreshing to see photos of Lisbon where practically every wall is a canvas. The art is shared by the community, and not hoarded by individuals.
