  • Creative cycle diagram, and a creative co-working video for body doubling

    This is an expansion on the creative cycle model that came through earlier this summer. I am on week seven of the artists way, this came through during a morning pages session and I had to create it in procreate. Would anyone like a free printable?

    What colleges have you attended?

    College is a touchy subject for me because it was a struggle. So, I won’t go into ALL of the colleges I’ve attended.

    Most of my education was done at Northern Illinois University. I ended up graduating from Easten Illinois University. It took me almost 13 years to complete college. I think I went to six different schools in that time.

    Education is different for everyone. Had I a chance to do things over, I would not have gone away to college. I would have researched more and gone through my other options.

    But it’s not helpful to dwell on the past.

    A mixed media journal spread. Surprisingly, I never went to school for writing or art. Other than briefly attempting a class in graphic design, I ended up graduating in general studies.
