Another gold star

As you know, I like drawing gold stars.

I was particularly pleased with how this one turned out.

Sometimes I decided to draw something because an idea flashes into my head and that’s how this one started.

My vision didn’t look like this though.

In my mind, the lines were forming triangles within one another. As in, lines extending from two points of the star would form a large triangle with the edge of the paper and then a smaller triangle would be within that one and another smaller one would be within that.

But I made a mistake with my first two lines and changed my plan in response.

I’m happy with where the mistake led me.

Sunrise

When the sun came up this morning it turned the foggy sky pink.

This has been a very strange day

There’s nothing wrong and it certainly wasn’t a bad day but it has felt all out of order.

It’s as if I did everything at the wrong time all day.

Even though there were no specific times for me to do things today.

Well, except for tea with my friend at 2pm but I did that at the right time.

My brain clock must be a bit further off that usual, I guess.

Trying to have patience

I’m trying to teach myself how to make a folded paper craft.

I’m doing ok with it but it’s kind of like I am teaching myself to be patient AND teaching myself a new skill at the same time.

Let’s just say it’s tricky.

Next Up: Get Writing Done

Aside from blog posts, I haven’t gotten much writing done this year.

I’m assuming the problem is mostly that I haven’t chosen a specific time to write and/or that I haven’t narrowed down what I want to write about.

That’s the downside with being a creativity coach – I know the damn solutions to the problems even though I can’t automatically apply them.

I wish it was a magic trick and that identifying the issue would immediately make it sort itself out.
