Ready to celebrate some successes! I finished my creativity course, got married, wrote a novel in the month of November for NanoWrimo, and feel back on track with writing daily.
Today I bought a new journal called The Steal Like An Artist Journal – A Notebook For Creative Kleptomaniacs by Austin Kleon. He opens the book with a quote by Mary Oliver – “I think we’re creative all day long. We have to have an appointment to have that work out on the page. Because the creative part of us gets tired of waiting, or just gets tired.” This sums up my new writing plans perfectly. I am attempting to set aside time daily to work out my creativity on the page. I plan to start sharing some of that experimentation here.
Activity #1 in the journal is Ten Things I Want To Learn:
- …Spanish
- …how to publish an ebook
- …how to format my poetry so it can be published as an ebook
- …everything necessary to get a Master’s Degree
- …everything necessary to get a Doctorate (just because I want to be Dr. Marshall)
- …to Waltz
- …to live a healthy lifestyle so I can maintain an ideal weight, shape, health for me
- …how to exercise without hurting my body
- …how to play 40K without David constantly reminding me of the rules
- …how to make a living as a writer
