Working On Your Own Stuff

Hi ho, MMMLogerinos!

I always have a wonderful time with my fellow writers at Eastside RWA. We meet once a month at the Community Room at Factoria Mall in Bellevue, WA. I was the speaker last night so had an even better time talking about Theme: Your Story's Heart and Soul.

My notion about creating is that whatever it is--painting, writing or playing music, poetry, novels or any art form--there are themes or what the piece is representing or about on a deeper level. I believe a creative piece's theme can be a mirror for our own issues and "stuff" that we're working on. As Carl Jung wrote: "But if you have nothing at all to create, then perhaps you create yourself."

Amen.

Ciao, ciao, Mmmmmmmmmmmmelinda--recreating herself.
