Stepping out

Well, this year has really been a year of changes and new exciting adventures! I am embarking upon a new one as we speak!

My cousin is co-leading an e-course called The Creative Playground, and is meant to allow you to play and be creative! I signed up and have been looking forward to it! This evening, it began, and I realized that I am also slightly TERRIFIED!

As I was working on the first prompt, my inner critic started up. She was rather horrified at my lack of artistic ability and deep insight. She looked over my shoulder, frowning and making suggestions, and huffing at every slip of the marker. In her opinion, I should just content myself with watching others play, because Van Gogh I am not.

She has been fired.

Now, if you will excuse me, I have to go wash my green and pink hands.

LIz, I've said it before, but it certainly bears repeating: you are a GIFTED writer. Here, you share honestly, almost nakedly, but without demanding we feel sorry for you. Your humor is just the right touch, making me laugh out loud, but you don't make fun of yourself.

I hope you would share thoughts like these on our Playground site--or at least say, "I made some comments and you can see them on my blog" and then include a link to this post . . it is soooooo good, and helpful.

love you!!

How is the course coming? What kinds of things have you been doing in it?

You are so hard on yourself. You have gifts that others would be envious about. Remember you are a gift from God to others. Totally use your gifts.
