A semester finished. A book fairly completed. I just want to go back and edit some of the text and probably add more details to the drawings. All-in-all, though, I have come a long way from the start of the semester. I thought I'd come into the class, work on some bits of writing, and then leave with a few more pages written than when I started.
It turned out to be that I have a lot of pages written, a lot more planned, and a wealth of knowledge about the process of creating and the perspectives of many prominent researchers.
In the beginning, there was a student who enjoyed writing and did so... sometimes, if my journal was nearby. Now, though, I know how to begin with a blank document and transform it into a lot of different products, to be comfortable with possibilities as well as the editing process, and to explore thoughts productively.
The writing ritual I have established works for me, because it doesn't require me to sit down at a certain time or in a certain position. But it enables me, when I would like to write, draw, or communicate, to begin work and continue on that work without getting as easily distracted by everything/anything else.
Now, I am wrapped and written up. I wonder what my next creative skill will be....
