Refilling the Well![]() My Studio (aka The Kitchen Table)
Two weeks ago
Today, as I strive to write, I decided it is time to refill the well. I am making excuses as to why I shouldn’t have to write, or why I shouldn’t make art. When this starts happening, I find myself in need of a break. The break I need is to be silent and listen. Listen to my inner self. Find a way to refuel my inner artist.
There are many things that a person can do to refuel that inner artist. One thing that I like to do for refueling is go to an art museum. You have to go by yourself to be able to really listen to that inner voice. Don’t take the kids. Don’t take your best friend. Only take you. Don’t be afraid to go alone. Aloneness is what you need.

There are many, many more places to go. What is your favorite thing to do to refill the well? Posted in Creativity. Updated May 21st, 2010. 2 comments so far.

I also took some time by myself to go shopping.

We all need refueling from time to time. I take a break from that craft and go on to another one. I ususally have so many different things going that I find inspiration in another one. I also like to read devotionals before going to bed and I find that refuels better than about anything. Don't be alarmed if inspiration seems low sometime. That's okay!
