Reading and Thinking

So it might appear that I've not been up to a whole lot lately, this is an illusion. I've had my pointy nose in more things than I can recall, just not a whole not of new artwork that I can share at the moment. I've been reading a ton. I've downed 3 Barbara Sher books in the past few weeks: Wishcraft, Live the Life You Love, I Could Do Anything, If I Only Knew What it Was... I've also read a number of books on creativity and writing, among them: Zen in the Art of Writing by Ray Bradbury, Long Quiet Highway by Natalie Goldberg, Dreams and Wishes by Susan Cooper. I'm now reading Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury. I've been journaling a lot I've been free-writing a bit. Why all of this? Well, I am trying to figure out where I'm heading and what I'm doing.

I LOVE Ray Bradbury...one of the best American writers of all time! I met him at a Writers' Conference a few years ago - a very interesting man.

How about buying a paint brush and doing something for an art exhibition? A nice 6 foot by 3 canvas should get you noticed.

I so know what you mean...you'll figure it out, or at least (hopefully) take some interesting paths on the way. :)
