A blog about the complicated, frustrating, occasionally very rewarding business of trying to keep going as a creative person, in a world not always friendly towards the creative fire.
Graduated from art school in 2000 & have been keeping going creatively ever since - although sometimes by my bootstraps. I write fiction & poetry (& this). I draw & paint, & I cook, & I travel as often as I can. I know the world is not always friendly or conducive to the creative life or to the open heart, so I'm just working on keeping my inner fire alight, hoping that people like me can all help keep the bigger light burning too. May we all have the good fortune to enjoy health, happiness & creative fulfilment!
I've come to feel very detached about my own crushes. Whenever one comes over me (as it only very occasionally does), I just tell myself: 'This is biology at work, that's all' and move on to the next thing.
Of course, it did take me many years of angst before I reached this blissful state. :)
I was at a very good concert at the King's Place (King's Cross) on Wednesday: don't think you were there, though! Today, I'm off to a Writers' Seminar, the first such I've ever attended.
Hope you have a good weekend and feel better soon.
