The Beginning

Hello readers. Welcome to my artist spot. I recently began writing a new novel...recently as in yesterday. This does not mean I have abandoned my previous projects by any means, but it does mean that I will probably write a lot about this new project as I go along. Hopefully writing about the writing will aid me in my process and help keep me on track. We'll see.... 


I hope you enjoy this silly blog about the artistic process in a variety of forms. I also hope that this blog may be of some use to other artists out there...and if not use, then at least a source of amusement. Creative people are a rare breed and typically flock together. We are all very similar, you see. Whether you're a writer or a painter, a dancer or a singer, or all of the above and then some, at the base, artistic souls have a lot in common. 


As author Stephen King includes in the narrative of his story "Everything's Eventual": 
"Think of those fingers as abilities. A creative person may write, paint, sculpt, or think up math formulae; he or she might dance or sing or play a musical instrument. Those are the fingers, but creativity is the hand that gives them life. And just as all hands are basically the same - form follows function - all creative people are the same once you get down to the place where the fingers join." 

Enjoy :)
