Drawing Inspiration

It occurs to me that I suffer a good portion of the time with a creative block, and this blog is an avenue to slowly get myself out of that state. I have wanted to start a blog and eventually a podcast for a very long time, but I always seemed to come up with an excuse not to. The culprit behind the excuses? FEAR. When you read about the creative process and those that create in one way or another in their lives, fear is almost always behind the block or delays in creating. What do we have to fear? Well, for me it is getting myself "out there". I have had this in the back of my mind since I was a child that my art or writings may not be good enough to share. But really, I think not only do I possess some type of artisitc talent, but I think all of us do.

So, my goal this week is to at least create one original work whether it is through adding to the fictional story I have been writing on and off now for a year or so, or doing some type of visual piece of artwork. All of us have to "just do" what we want to creatively, and not be afraid of our skills or what others think of our creations.
