Keeping the Creativity Alive
/As every artist knows, there is an ebb and flow to creativity. Sometimes the words come easily and sometimes it’s like trying to climb a mountain blindfolded and hands tied: it is rough and even scary. The worst thing in the world to the part of us that desperately wants to create is a blank page or blank canvas.

Will I get stuck somewhere and be left starting over?
