THE CREATIVE BLOG
Why Blogging is important to me..
I love blogging as it catalogues my processes and thoughts. Some posts are directly about my work and methods, some are about new techniques or spheres of creativity I am doing. Some are reflective and include poems and sketches about thoughts on creativity and life. I also do "SHOUT OUTS" about other creative people. I like the fact that posts do not dissappear into the ether, but are stored, like a chapter in a book. I also love to share the creative journey I am on, in the hopes that it inspires others..And it hones my writing skills!
