Back to basics

The other day I was looking for something to help me get back to some real basics with being creative. Still being in a serious block I needed some ideas and prompts to jump start me. I like the idea of combining art, doodles and quick sketches with words and writing. I've been keeping journals like this for years but didn't even realize that's what they were. I thought they were just notebooks I filled with notes, reminders and memos to help me remember day to day stuff. But when I look back at them I realize they're more than that and they already have my "perfect" combination of sketches and words and lots of doodles.

where to start?

My inner critic is loud these days so I struggle to find starting points. I start and stop more times than I can even begin to comprehend. When I was a kid I was always drawing and making things. Where did that go?

Where to start? at the beginning

Where's the beginning? where ever you are

The important thing is to show up and (like Nike says) just do it!
