DREAMER'S MIRROR: Failure

http://dreamermirror.blogspot.com/2013/09/failure.html

DREAMER'S MIRROR: MUSINGS ON SPIRITUALITY AND CREATIVITY. Wednesday, September 11, 2013. Opened my daily planner to find this quote:. Try again. Fail again. Fail better." -Samuel Beckett. I've learned gut-wrenching lessons from every failure. Steve Jobs said: "Stay hungry, stay foolish.". Better to be a happy failing fool than to have never had the courage to crack open the hollow shell of longing. Never stop. Seriously. Just do not let yourself. Dream. BIG.

DREAMER'S MIRROR: Fling yourself!

http://dreamermirror.blogspot.com/2013/05/fling-yourself.html

DREAMER'S MIRROR: MUSINGS ON SPIRITUALITY AND CREATIVITY. Saturday, May 25, 2013. If the artist does not fling himself, without reflecting, into his work, as Curtis flung himself into the yawning gulf, as the soldier flings himself into the enemy's trenches. And if, once in this crater, he does not work like a miner on whom the walls of his gallery have fallen in; if he contemplates difficulties instead of overcoming them one by one.he is simply looking on at the suicide of his own talent.".

Journeys in Creative Writing: Emperor’s New Clothes - Rewritten

http://journeysincreativewriting.blogspot.com/2008/10/emperors-new-clothes-rewritten.html

Friday, 10 October 2008. Emperor’s New Clothes - Rewritten. This story is a take on the old Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale The Emperor’s New Clothes. My original re-write dates back to 2005 and carries echoes from the past, including the spectre of a recent Australian Prime Minister and his longest-serving predecessor whom he idolised. Mentions of global capital may be interesting in today's context. The little man himself was unremarkable with his stiff upper lip, pea-size eyes and chaste spectacles.

Journeys in Creative Writing: Meet Pip in the Flesh

http://journeysincreativewriting.blogspot.com/2009/01/meet-pip-in-flesh.html

Wednesday, 7 January 2009. Meet Pip in the Flesh. Portrait of Pip - Vikki North of The Red Chair Gallery. Meet Pip in the flesh. Staggeringly talented Vikki North of California’s The Red Chair Gallery. Has done a conceptual portrait of our heroine Pip Holmes and allowed me to publish it here so that we can all share …. What do you reckon? To my mind she has Pip down to the finest detail. Vikki posted her portrait on her blog and waited for me to make my usual visit there, so that I’d get a surprise.

Journeys in Creative Writing: SEX AT SIXTY-FIVE - two friends share a confidence - by June Saville

http://journeysincreativewriting.blogspot.com/2008/07/there-was-something-wrong.html

Wednesday, 9 July 2008. SEX AT SIXTY-FIVE - two friends share a confidence - by June Saville. There was something wrong. Something different. And Velma was sniffing the breeze. Theirs was a long term ritual. Every week day Monica and Velma watched Days of Our Lives while curled up on Monica’s sagging two seater lounge, and sucking cups of Bushells tea. One sugar and a splash of milk for Mon, and for Velma, three sugars and black. 8216;Mon … Are you ready to tell me? Monica looked sideways at her friend, ...

Journeys in Creative Writing: Labyrinth - Plague in Olde Sydney Town

http://journeysincreativewriting.blogspot.com/2009/06/labyrinth-plague-in-olde-sydney-town.html

Sunday, 21 June 2009. Labyrinth - Plague in Olde Sydney Town. I set this story in Sydney in the year 1900 - the time when Bubonic Plague hit the town, creating death and panic among the residents and those who would govern them. Another of the favourites I'm repeating for those who missed out on the first time around. And then we got into a labyrinth,. And when we thought we were at the end,. Came out again at the beginning,. Having still to seek as much as ever.'. In one such room a candle flickers, thr...

DREAMER'S MIRROR: Heading into the Unknown

http://dreamermirror.blogspot.com/2014/01/heading-into-unknown.html

DREAMER'S MIRROR: MUSINGS ON SPIRITUALITY AND CREATIVITY. Wednesday, January 8, 2014. Heading into the Unknown. I always equate writing a novel with feeling my way in a dark room. As 2014 begins, and it's time to get back to the novel in progress (which is about as appealing as crocheting earmuffs from dust balls), I love this thought:. When we walk to the edge of all the light we have and take the step into the darkness of the unknown, we must believe that one of two things will happen. Author Kathy-Dia...

DREAMER'S MIRROR: February 2013

http://dreamermirror.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html

DREAMER'S MIRROR: MUSINGS ON SPIRITUALITY AND CREATIVITY. Friday, February 15, 2013. If your writing is calling you to a wounded place you don't have the courage to probe because it's too raw, honest and painful, contemplate these words from RUMI:. With this pain,. Trust the process. I find writing, like a GPS for the soul, often leads me to higher ground. Be brave! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). To create is always to learn.Matthew Fox. Writers who CARE: the 50/50 Project.
