I feel so excited for you! I love when an idea germinates and bubbles to the surface!!
Those questions were really good prompts for me. There’s ideas that I have been germinating and having quite broken to the surface. Thanks for the inspiration. 💕
Very good questions, Elin. When i need to do sth and do it anyway, i feel very thrilled and proud of myself. When i don't do it and constantly procrastinate, there comes a time when first i regret not doing it on time, then get furious at myself for procrastinating.
This goes for things i wanna do as well. For instance, i wanna learn how to draw human poses and for the past three weeks, i had done NOTHING FOR IT. Then yesterday, i went to Pinterest and downloaded some of the guides i had saved (I've created many boards on Pinterest based on my interests, one of which is "Character design sketches". Anyway, i'm now ready to start practicing sketching human poses now.
It’s fascinating how it works isn’t it! I completely get it, and it’s a fine balance of “granting space” or “doing it anyway”.
Love the initiative to drawing poses!! And the Pinterest boards are brilliant - it’s actually how I make a lot of sales haha, many have my patterns in their Pinterest boards 🫣🥰
So great to hear that you can sell your patterns on Pinterest (for a very long time, i wasn't much familiar with Pinterest. Now i know it's a vast ocean of anything art-related).
I hope i can reach the selling phase (to sell my paintings, i mean) some day. I needed a paint brush holder and i got the idea for it from Pinterest (although finally it wasn't built like the one in the photo i'd found, i'm glad i now have it and how i got to have it).
I love the name of your new book Erin, good luck✨✨✨. I do this so much - don’t write when I need to. It’s time capacity issues from a demanding day job, although I’m part time I wear some other hats for other functions and life is so busy. I love the comment above “granting space.” It’s on my mind to find a slot to diarise writing in the joint calendar hubby and I share - your post has inspired me to do this thing today!!!✨✨✨ thank you Bev💛

Thank you so much Mika!! I’m very nervous but just came to the point of “if not now, then when?”
Wonderful! scribble them in your journal and you can always come back to them at any time 🥰
Funny you say that, that’s exactly what I did. 😊😊✍🏼📝

Yes it’s brilliant for visual artists with non-time-sensitive products!

Yesss! Showing up for our art, movement practice, sleep, pretty much anything we know is good for us although we may not feel like it. 😇
celebrating you and the book launch! 💖
Aw thank you Carmen!! Right - this concept can be translated across the board! My first thought was exercise… 🫣💗🙏🏼

Wonderful Beverly! One thing at the time 🥰 (typing as we are in the car…. There are always unexpected imperfect moments to write ✨)
