I'm sure there are thousands of you out there wondering where I've been - all silently waiting in suspense for me to return :). I've just reached the bottom of the creative well for a moment.
One of the great challenges in my life is that I'm an introvert and Emily is an extrovert. By the end of the summer of us being together, I'm almost incapable of thinking and she is going into hyperdrive for lack of stimulation.
It took me a while but I started to unravel this problem a week ago. The Artist's Way talks about two techniques to 'fill the well': writing 3 pages a day in a journal and the artist's date (where you go out alone to somewhere artistically interesting). I don't get a lot of time in the summer to take myself anywhere alone but I've been working on it.
This week is Vacation Bible School. I'm doing the craft section: 2 crafts a day for 17 kids. Whew. Hopefully pictures to follow.
