Earlier today I posted this photo on Instagram, along with the following:
I logged onto my blog last night and I have NINETEEN unfinished posts. I’m not finishing anything these days. Nothing feels right. Nothing matches me. October is a tough month, and I thought it was the signs of fall around me, but this year those signs aren’t even here yet, and it still feels heavy. I didn’t get anywhere on those unfinished posts, but I’d still like to break the silence with something easy. I’d love it if you’d ask a question you’ve always wondered about, or throw out a simple writing prompt. I promise to answer in a new post(s).
So if you aren’t on IG, or you are and don’t follow me (but please feel free to send me a request – I love to chat there), you are welcome to ask away in the comments here.
Ooh, I would love to know your thoughts on creativity and how to instill a creative mindset it in children. I have a toddler and I feel like we’re deep in the weeds of toddlerhood and it’s hard to know how to expose him to creativity.
Also, I’d love to know how you ended up in your profession! I just listened to an episode of the podcast “How To Decorate” by Ballard Designs and they were interviewing Vern Yip and he was studying to be a doctor and he went to his mother and told her he didn’t want to be a doctor and he was interested in architecture. He wasn’t sure which school to attend or where to start, so they went to their family friend, I.M. Pei (!!!), and he suggested Georgia Tech, so Vern went there. Pretty neat story.
Cool – several others on IG asked the same question!
