Few things can be more exciting than starting a new project whether that is a painting, a poem or a story. I get caught up in the excitement of the moment and want to know where the story is going. I follow it down a crooked path, through the woods, and into a meadow of wild flowers. And there sits Peter Rabbit laughing at me. Some people struggle with the blank page or the blank canvas, afraid to put down that first word or that first brush stroke. I find that the easy part. I am eager to get started. I can't wait to put my words down on paper and see where the story leads me. The same holds true for painting. I have some picture in my mind and I want to see what happens to it the pastel or the ink touches the paper. Beatrix said it beautifully: "There is something delicious about writing the first words...." So what new project are you starting today?
Have you seen the movie, Miss Potter? If not, I encourage you to do so.
