I speak so openly about being a daily writer. Only because I believe I've been trained. Being a student of Julia Cameron since July 1994 our crazy habits as creative minds open paths that can't stay hidden, we want to push the discoveries forward. I just wish more creative people were transparent not with their victories but their valleys. I'm not looking to jump in the hole with you but learning how you're going to take your emotional battles out of that season of unlit chance and turn it into a chapter or two about reevaluating the presence of why you are creative. We've gotten away with calling creative people introverts. Lets end that. You can be inside all you want but you need to know there are a lot of people on the outside that need to learn from your experiences. I had a brilliant conversation with Oscar winner Tatum O'Neil yesterday on what it's like to be an open spirit of art. It was if we were two friends sitting at Starbucks. As creative minds we should never put a trophy above our reasons to share. Nothing should stand in the way of your art growing in the heart of another imagination. Maybe the reason why you stepped into the darkness is because your creative energy can't survive on its own and it needs to be taught. Maybe your bad days are fed by a lack of wanting to share what gave you personal fame. I get it! You're great at what you do. Let us study your struggles. Creative people are always in a state of mind of building paths. So willing to learn. Open your door and stop hiding. Or sit in a puddle of a dream that could've been. But you chose to go at it alone.
