hi phil
nothing is so frightening as the blank page!!
i found this really interesting as i have *just* started a new project which is scary, exciting and now there’s no going back…usually i keep quiet about any creative process (fear of failure, no doubt!) but this time i have found it helpful to tell one or two people close to me a few details about the project as it is evolving- a sort of safety net, so they can gently push me along, ask me how things are going, encourage me along the way…speaking about the project somehow makes it “real” and opens avenues to help me think about things in a different way. funny how our internal monologue can change and grow once we verbalise! share, collaborate, exchange ideas, chat over a cup of tea…these are all things i’ll be embracing now i’ve taken the first few steps of my new venture

Go for it Guilietta! Taking that first step and rolling out the mat or hitting a class is the hardest. Once you get on a roll it becomes habitual and part of your routine. Enjoy getting started.

Belinda – thanks for sharing. Self-censoring is a really interesting topic. My inner critic certainly has pretty sharp elbows and high standards. I’m trying to educate it at the moment to let things flow a little more, by just committing and writing. I know that the inner critic or perfectionist can stand in anyone’s way with committing to a difficult project – saying that there is no way we could do it. This helps to confound that by getting some momentum up.

Thanks for the feedback Karen. There is nothing worse than getting stuck in our head and second guessing where to start. I like just throwing anything down to see where it can take us.
