Rambling and rambling: Creative Speculations

Once upon a time, this January was warm. On that day, I ventured out into the woods and talked a lot of nonsense about my own creativity. https://youtu.be/Egz-Or-0bcY

A Year of Creativity

It's been quite a year, guys.  Here's to another one. https://youtu.be/ja0PpazuSTM

Bruised Dreamer

"Dream big, and enjoy the little things." I love this little quote.  I instinctively live out this quote.  Or at least I try. But sometimes it's hard. The enjoying the little things part?  I got that covered.  No problem. I take pleasure in what I do. I'm known as the easiest person to shop for...

How Life Works

"Life is all about balance" Well, yeah.  Obviously.  Without balance we couldn't do basic things, like standing and walking.  We'd never be able to ride a bike, or a horse, or a skateboard.  Showering would be a nightmare. Yes, I realize this quote is about metaphorical balance.  I'm a snarky person, it has to come...

Rambling and Rambling: Creativity and Guilt

Oh look, I went to the woods to talk to myself again. https://youtu.be/ZpNUIyRfmkU

What Plans?

So, I guess if you average out the posts I made this month, you could say I made a post every week. I'll be honest: I forgot that was a plan I made in like, the second week.  July was a bit hectic at times, so I'm honestly just proud I kept up two creative things...

I can't focus on the best or worst case scenario for more than a few seconds without immediately switching to the other one. One second I'm picturing the happy...

Costumes

Do you ever feel like you're playing a caricature of yourself? Like, that one feature, or hobby that is particularly highlighted in your clothes or actions is all that the people you interact with will remember? Last month I was the kind of person who is so not bothered by tornadoes she pulls her knitting...

freewriting sessions

There are times when I feel completely disconnected from humanity.  Like, I'm just an observer.  It probably doesn't help that, left to my own devices, I stay awake all night and sleep all day.  And I'm not talking going to sleep at 3 am and getting up at lunchtime.  I'm talking not falling asleep until ...

Freewriting: Clouds

I don't understand why cloudless skies are the happy skies. Have you ever lost yourself in a cloudless sky?  No. I understand the whole assurance that it won't rain, thing, but that's the only positive, and a subjective one at that.  There's no relief from the sun, no variance in the sunsets, no scope for the...
