Saturday is a good day to drift into creativity. I’ve left you some links to explore while I’m off on my own creative dig.
Mess up a journal page? It’s OK. Here are four ways to fix it or live with it.
Speaking in public is hard for most people. Whether you have to talk to your co-workers or to a room full of people, here are some tips to make the conversation work.
It’s Saturday. Change up that cereal-for-breakfast to a ham cup containing an egg and . . .
Every artist needs room to think and room to grow. Create a space for yourself.

I used #4 of the fixing solutions this week. That page had been bugging me for months, changing it will (hopefully) free the flow onto that journal.
About the space: I realized in my forties that I had never had such a space while growing up. My room was my dad´s office so I shared it with literally dozens of patients. Lately I´d had this neat little fantasy that when I had a loooooong stretch of time, a new tea and a delightful new candle I´d be creating singing like a Disney princess. The only thing that worked tonight was the candle and I haven´t really lit it yet. *puzzled*
I didn’t have a space of my own when I was growing up, either. My room was used to get to the garage and for my brothers to get from their room to the rest of the house. It made me develop a huge need for privacy. How did that #4 of working on a page you don’t like work for you?
I´m not that happy with the new one but at least the page that bothered me is no longer visible and I might be able to go on with the others. Pictures here (http://keepitsimplemakeitgreat.blogspot.com.ar/2012/10/is-it-november-yet.html)
My room was an office in which I used the bed at night and stripped it down every morning as it was the shrinkcouch too. My clothes were in my parent´s wardrobe in their room. Add the need to keep out of the way and quiet for hours and you have a very contained kid.
I think the page works really well–it’s well balanced. I don’t know how you managed it as a kid, but you certainly turned out inventive and flexible!
Thanks! I lived in my head a lot. And I wrote to let the stories out. 🙂 Mostly about ghosts and aliens.
I loved reading the post about creating a space for oneself. It’s a great reminder that I don;t need a lot to make a space special. A comfy chair, a ledge to sit a cup of coffee, a good light for reading — and off limits to computers and phone. Good enough for me!
You’ll have that space in no time, then!
