Plenty more crazy unfiltered me coming up!<br />Rob, the other one of course is 'making up stories' - how many of us had imaginry friends or fairies dismissed as nonsense, or worse, lies?<br />Bug, in the Artist's Way there's a cool exercise where you can write letters to all the people who have dissed your creativity in your life. I wrote a particularly scathing one to Ms Geography Teacher.<br />Mama! I need that picture! Hoorah.<br />Janet, luckily my dear parents hooted when they saw it, and in our family its become code for that kind of mindset ever since.<br /><br />Thanks everyone!tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01112433561328525664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6840208411822507230.post-55942899820416631712010-01-12T12:08:37.951+02:002010-01-12T12:08:37.951+02:00There is not a single brown tree trunk in my garde...There is not a single brown tree trunk in my garden of 15 trees.

Wait - it must have been me because I've been writing poetry my whole life which my family likes & tells me to publish (they're CRAZY). See, there's that voice in my head pounding out all my inadequacies. I wonder where it came from?<br /><br />Anyway, I want to hear about Compost, please!The Bughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07509037206264761261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6840208411822507230.post-25927046978840829032010-01-11T19:55:15.956+02:002010-01-11T19:55:15.956+02:00I love this post, Tam.

My creative endeavours dismissed and belittled - "perhaps you're dyslexic".<br /><br />In recent years I've been rediscovering that part of me. I have a number of my paintings up on the walls. When Mother came to visit the UK, she looked at the art on the wall and commented how interesting they were and how she loved them, "must have cost a fortune for so many originals." When I pointed out the artists signature, "well I am surprised, you never showed any talent as a child".

And then Silence...and then...<br />I totally agree that everyone is creative. But it is fear, fear of rejection, criticism, anything negative, like, Haven`t you got better things to do? that stops us. I wish my parents had given me a wall to paint on, or at least not told me that asking questions was WRONG! <br /><br />I love your blog, Tam, please share all your thoughts with us, epecially the crazy, unfiltered ones!Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06484336744673299416noreply@blogger.com
