Oh my, YES!!! I am especially prone to dreading making a drawing or a painting even though I really really want to do that. I think, "This is going to so bad. Why even begin?" And with writing, too. As you say, that loss of control. The unknown. Thank you for this, Charlotte. Because it is SO true that once we dive in we remember the thrill, the tussling, the stretching of our imagination, and we feel like we've seen ourselves again in what we've made!
It's such a paradox--the things we love to do, we dread. And then when we do them, we love it so much. Are we afraid of love? It's all very curious. But noticing it is a huge part of the battle!
Oh thank you for letting me know you didn't love Cerulean Sea, either. I was feeling there was something wrong with me--I like so much cozy fantasy. I'll have to try the Starless Sea!
Good morning from snow covered Nashville, although it hasn't been the predicted amount of the white stuff which arrived late and left earlier than predicted. But you must remember Nashville takes snow, any amount, very seriously. I am thrilled about this new class that Charlotte is taking us on. Thank you Charlotte!
Jealous of your snow. We've not had even a whiff of it here. And Portland takes snow very seriously also. As in, shutting the city down because we don't have equipment to deal with it and nobody can drive in it.
I am thrilled about the class, too! And I'm thrilled that you are in it, Donna.

I also did not love Cerulean Sea, but everyone I know does. I'm more of a Starless Sea girl myself, on the Sea-titled bestseller spectrum. haha
