Last night I got an amazing lightning bolt of inspiration to start creative writing again. So excited to share. Here is an art journal spread inspired by that writing session and fairies.

What’s your dream job?

This is my dream job. Writing and sharing my creative processes. The writing is it, mostly. But I do think I’d love to add some teaching in there.

The issue is, with the teaching, it’s hard to say that I ever feel qualified to do it because I’m doing what most of us are doing: winging it. I believe I have something to offer, a genuine insight. But I also think that showing up for the writing first and foremost could help me figure that out. Or perhaps share what it is I feel I need to say.

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.
