I’ve been working on my woodcarving a bit today. I was going to try to finish my arched cat project, but I ran into problems with dull tools. I was forced to stop for the day and sharpen my tools. I’m not very good at sharpening yet and I have no idea if they are sharp enough until I start using them again. I’d be willing to hear any advice anyone has on that. Anyway, my hands are sore and stiff so I decided to write on here a bit before bed.
I’ve been reading a good book called The Right to Write by Julia Cameron. I originally bought it to get around some mental barriers I have regarding writing. It seems to be helping so far. I guess I’ve always thought of creative things as a waste of time and that they cannot be constructive by nature. I guess that probably has roots in many aspects of family and societal influence upon me. I’ve got so many ideas for writing projects, and I’ve written a fair few poems. At the very least, writing will always be part of my life. I feel as if I have to write, whether I share the product with others or not. I plan on posting some peoms and writing projects on my website in the following weeks. I’ll probably post about it if I do.
