I ground it out

This is my first entry from my brand new baby: Mr. iMac.
He's beautiful and so easy on the eyes.

It is my nature to grind it out. To ignore what is staring me in the face and move forward. A big joke among my friends are two of my phrases: "own it" and "onward". Pretty indicative of my personality :)

So, yesterday I was whining, yes, whining, that I had hit a creative wall. One I did not see coming but landed right in front of me. I was disgusted with my reaction but slowly became upset with myself for my lack of action. I had cleared away the day so I could "be creative". Maybe that was part of the problem? You can't really force creativity, after all, if you're creative, then you are creative. You really can't run away from it, nor can you schedule it. But, it is all hard work, just the same!

Perhaps it was the words of the brilliant Christine Kane in her 7 Tried-and-True Ways to Stifle Creativity article written late last month which was resonating within me. In her article, she states, and I agree, that you can really shut yourself down and you are the only one who can fix it.

Onward.
