More on The Artist's Way

I've been having some more excellent insights into my creative process, self acceptance and such, in the past few days.

Some of it comes back to this very blog, and my website, which I've been thinking about. I'm aware of my self consciousness regarding it, and what some people might think of some of the things I've said in it. Certain fears - of acceptance by others, and so on - have loomed up. But how else can I be true to myself, than to explore my feelings, beliefs, thoughts, and history?

With friends the other day, we compared out poetry, and first of all dismissed our own work as "crap" and "amateur" and so on. How can we possibly grow with such self censors on board, inside our minds? Would we declare the work of another to be crap, in front of them, let alone behind their backs? Yet some of us do it to ourselves.

So I declare here and now my genius. My genius as an artist and an actor.

I mean, what's the point of saying anything less?
