Don’t think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It’s self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can’t try to do things. You simply must do things. – Ray Bradbury
The last two nights have been restless. I comb through the past days’ experiences, chasing one thought after another, hoping to find answers.
So a couple hours ago after finishing morning pages, I head toward my arts and crafts room to play.
Now I have a lesson for tomorrow’s after school class and a clearer plan for the children’s art festival in April. Neither will be these little word pictures. They just took my mind off my self-conscious thinking.

a case of process more important than product:)
Yes, yes. True.
loving!

Self-conscious is not necessarily “bad”…it’s always what you do with thought, i.e., thought put into action that can be counter-productive!
