18.5.11 - creating questions

well, it has been over a month since i have gotten to read your words on this page.
i understand that life is busy, but kind of like the other blog alex and i started, i find it very hard to write without response.
should we take a break on the morning shares until your life settles down?
would you rather i keep writing even if you can't regularly? i don't mind, so long as you at least give me some indication that you are at least checking in...
miss you friend - when is a good time to call?

3.5.11 - questing for creativity

The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt. - Sylvia Plath

i am trying to be creative, trying to believe that i have something worthwhile to add to the world. but it is oh so easy to think that i am vain/delusional/short-sighted to thnk so, and that it would be better just to be quiet. i think i finally understand what s. plath was saying.

today in writers' workshop we began to think on how to write suspense stories. if you haven't seen this animated short before, you should. it is Creepy good.
