Out of Creative Seminary, I hope to improve my lyric writing, and get back into the swing of writing regularly. My reachable goal will be to write one song a month, and my massive goal will be to create a habit of regular writing that I will always keep.
I do enjoy reading very much and find myself avoiding nonfiction because I like to ‘escape’ into stories, also I read enough nonfiction in news so it’s not as fun for me. Although, along that train of thought; I’d definitely like to spend more time reading literally anything but twitter or the news but am DEFINITELY addicted and I feel like recognizing that is a good step. Right? Yes. Anyway, I’m glad I’m here and hopefully it’ll help remind me that I prefer my life when I read and write more.
I definitely also prefer my nonfiction in small doses like articles. But maybe they don't all have to be news and can sometimes be inspiring or fascinating (like Orion or Nat Geo etc). And I agree that news time really does need boundaries!
3. The main reason I decided to join Creative / Seminary is to make myself write, make myself DO SOMETHING. I’ve been struggling in what feels like depressive, anxiety-ridden purgatory for so long that I need to prove to myself that I am capable of sticking to something. There’s no possible way that it won’t be good for me. I have no major ambitions with this. I just want to write about interesting topics without judging myself, in a safe space.
Thank you for this honest answer. I'm glad you're here, and want to help support your writing and creative practices. Always here for the gentlest accountability as well!
I want to be part of this group because I think it'll offer the kind of loosely-knit instructive format, pertaining to creative work, which will keep me motivated as I try to establish a balanced routine for myself. Currently I'm not sure where I want to focus. I want to work on developing a new style of drawing for children's literature. I want to finish a series of paintings I've been working on, forever. And I am hoping to be inspired to continue writing on the novel I started and am now stuck on pause. I also want to set aside time during the week to stay connected to family and friends and read on a regular basis. As you can see, my mind is moving in many different directions but I think if I can set aside time each day to focus on one of these desires, in time I can determine what is most important to me and give myself to that endeavor.
I struggle with that too. I know structure brings a lot of great "freedom" in being able to do one thing at a time with my full presence, but it's also so hard to do sometimes. So I find myself with a handful of goals and to-dos but always kind of flitting around from one to another. A damn good planner has helped, haha, but there are still a lot of butterfly days.

I'll share my answer to the last question:
