Sleepless Night

Over a month since I posted; so much to write. Started building up my creative zone by digging out my keyboard (only 5 octaves, but hey...) and rediscovering the joys of the piano.That energized me so much that I couldn't sleep that night! And I started the countdown towards my vacation -- nearly two weeks in Barbados with family, friends, and REST.

I'm trying to keep this journal as a record of my activities, especially those that build energy. Of course, it would help if I continued reading Cathy's book. I'll get there. Right now, it's posting time.

My Creative Map

Bought Cathy Johnson's new book, Artist's Journal Workshop, when it first came out -- downloaded it straight to my Kindle. It's awesome! And while I like being able to carry it around on the Kindle, I'm also glad that I can read it in color on other devices. I've answered the first three questions about starting a journal, but don't feel comfortable posting them. The newest assignment (really, a suggestion) is to make a map of where you want to go and to include any roadblocks or obstacles, or motivators. I was astounded last night when I did this to see what came out.

Here's the upside-down version of the map as well, to make the other bits easy to read.
