Well, I’ve been slipping on the morning pages and just thinking about the exercises rather than doing them, but I’ve been amazingly creative and, except for two days, very up and positive. I’ve been doing my artist dates and journaling regularly. I’ve been experimenting with different mediums: embossed metals, acrylics, paper boxes. I’ve been writing poems.
I’m also gearing up for NaNoWriMo. I’ve been listening to the epic tale Gilgamesh on audiobook and it made me wonder about Shamhat as a person. Shamhat was the priestess of Ishtar that seduced Enkindu the wild man and turned him from animal to human. So that is what I am going to write about.
In the upcoming week I have a couple of large projects (meaning paid work) that I need to focus on, so I am going to try and limit my tv time so that I have time to continue creating.
This weekend I want to revisit chapters 5 and 6 of the Artist’s Way and do some of the exercises in my journal, clearing my path for chapter 7.
But it’s all a process, isn’t it? I’m working through the book at an artificial pace, but that doesn’t mean I can always come back and dip into chapters again when I need them.
