Go to the Writers.

Anne Lamott, in particular, has helped me as both a writer and a photographer. Probably because she’s more neurotic and self-deprecating than I am, and I take comfort in that. In her book Bird by Bird she talks about the first steps in writing, among them this: Write sh*tty first drafts. Don’t over-think it, just get it down. Put the words on paper, no matter how loud the inner critic is screaming that those words are juvenile, self-indulgent, cliche, obvious, crap. Just get it down.

Another awesome article from David DuChemin.
Learning about creativity this past couple of years has been totally crucial for me.

OK just beginning to read about being creative, over the years have had many thoughts occasionally some got down on paper, and now they are in a “safe” place (can’t find them) now ain’t that the way.
Great reading the posts, next step to do something about it.
