Creating keeps me alive, rejuvenated, and joyful.

One reason I love writing is it’s a form of self-declaration and self-expression, an act that can bring joy and strength to both writer and reader.

But sometimes we forget to fuel our fires. Or we forget to draw on the resources in our toolbox. Our writing may suffer without the tools or time spent on forms of creative expression. Writing can become dry, tedious, boring.

When I struggle, I know it’s time to pick up the brush.

Writing needs energy.

Q: What creative tools do you reach for or experiences you tap into to light your fire?
Q: How might I help you find joy in writing? 

Here are some of recent joyful creations –just for fun.
