The cliche which keeps running around my head at the moment is hindsight is always 20 20 (ironically its what has clouded my vision of late).  Flashes of specific images of the past which tap into dark emotions have driven me to a standstill.  I’ve had to turn that around and use it to propel me forward once again instead of making me feel like I am drowning in a sea of words which need to get out of my head.

What has helped me is that I have found myself drawn to photos which I have taken which stimulate my imagination.  The more introspective I become with regards to my writing, the more I love looking at the beautiful places and people who have inspired me on this journey.  This is what is helping me get the things I need to say out….this is what has helped me get on with it.

They say a picture is worth a thousand words….well I’m using that to my advantage.  I am looking back but also looking forward.  Not only am I looking at the photos which have inspired me but I am taking pictures of things which are inciting my creativity to move into the direction which feeds my story.

This post was inspired by my friend Michelle L…thanks for reminding me that I am an artist.
