My Creative process: You have to win the battle to get to the Dance

7

 

I went through a phase where I made myself weave everyday, where I simplified the work, and thought about how to price it for stores.

That was boring

I stopped weaving for 2 months. ( for those of you that know me, that’s huge, that’s a long time.)

Then the voices started to come back, they started to whisper ideas. I ignored them……

                                                                                                                                                                                                     Until I couldn’t

They got louder, more persistent, and demanding. 

I went into the studio, sat down, fell into bliss and wove with pure freedom.

Two beautiful scarves came off of the loom. The muse had my attention.

She started to get pushy

Wanted to take me farther

She was pushing me into fear

I left the studio and returned to reading and watching movies in bed. This wasn’t blissful, but it was easy, safe, and didn’t require much of me.

The muse, wouldn’t stop, wouldn’t let me off the hook.

Back into the studio I went, back into a dance with bliss and fear.

This is my process:

ignore…..battle……dance

I only show you the dance

But you should know that if you want to create, really create, you’re going to have to battle, and you’re going to have to fight the battle hard, really hard if you ever want to get to the dance.

    It’s great to see that resistance is there in every type of art form or business. Sometimes us creative types feel like it’s “just us” that it happens to. Thank you for the motivation to keep pushing on, even when I just want to get into bed and watch Netflix 🙂

    Such an amazing post Amber. We tend to only see the “Dance” part when it comes to everyone else’s work, thinking they must have it easy, they love what they do, they are lucky enough, you name it… So, thank you for sharing your story with us, I know I can totally use the encouragement to keep on battling my own resistance.

    Hey there 🙂

    Your wordpress site is very sleek – hope you don’t mind me asking what theme you’re using?
    (and don’t mind if I steal it? :P)

    I just launched my site –also built in wordpress like yours– but the theme slows (!) the site down quite a bit.

    In case you have a minute, you can find it by
    searching for “royal cbd” on Google (would appreciate any feedback) – it’s still in the works.

    Keep up the good work– and hope you all take care of yourself during the coronavirus scare!

    however what if you added a headline that makes
    people want more? I mean My Creative process:
    You have to win the battle to get to the Dance – is a little
    plain. You might glance at Yahoo’s home page and note how
    they write post titles to get viewers interested.
    You might add a related video or a related pic or two to get readers excited about what
    you’ve written. Just my opinion, it might make
    your website a little livelier.

    You’re so cool! I do not suppose I’ve truly read
    through something like this before. So wonderful to
    find somebody with some genuine thoughts on this subject.
    Really.. thanks for starting this up. This website is one thing that’s needed on the internet, someone with
    some originality!

    Excellent blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers?
    I’m planning to start my own website soon but
    I’m a little lost on everything. Would you propose starting
    with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are
    so many options out there that I’m totally confused .. Any suggestions?

    Thank you!
