If this is my midlife crisis, I'll take it.
I've been having a strong burst of creative energy
over the last few months which has been slowly
building. I've purchased a new, updated copy of
Drawing on the Right Side of the
Brain and the associated
work book, I bought a guitar and
software to help me learn to play (and boy do my
fingers hurt!), I've started podcasting again
(
new episode last night!) and I
even went out and bought a
mixer and
microphone to take my podcasting
to a new level, and I am starting a new podcast
(even registered a domain and have started work
on the website for it as well as the plan for
the show). This last project is one I've
actually wanted to do for a few years now and am
finally getting around to. I'll post more about
it when I am ready to go public. I need another
month or so of setup and preparation (yes, it's
not just a sit down, turn on GarageBand and
start talking, this one requires some planning
and effort).
I am not sure where all of this creativity is coming
from. But I'm glad it's here and it's happening. I
actually think
NaNoWriMo is the likely root
cause. By forcing myself to do that, I
discovered just how far I can go if I apply
myself. And I realized that sometimes you just
have to stop making excuses and sit down and get
to work. And my whole life philosophy has
shifted thanks to that happy discovery. Now I am
making the time to do the things I truly love
and it feels amazing. I cannot recommend it
enough.
