Loved getting to hear more from Erinn! She has such a sharp sense of intelligence and a contagious energy, even when she’s talking about being stuck. 💜
This is really helpful! I got to take a class with Lynda Barry here in Madison, WI years ago - and it was a bit frightening, honestly, to do the spiral-drawing/ timed writing exercise included here as a prompt! But Erinn is getting to the exact reason it felt so frightening - because it really does interrupt your internal critic! And that can feel vulnerable. Maybe I will try it again after this reminder. I so agree with Erinn's comments about being ALONE!! Thank you for this.
I'm so glad this was helpful for you! It helped me greatly, too. Being vulnerable like that can be so frightening. I also agree with just being ALONE alone -- nothing as healing as that esp when you never get to just be alone! thanks for reading and sharing this!
This was great, thank you! The prompt that begins with a meditative drawing/spiral practice focused on a theme or image was a perfect fit for me this week- I went to a “neurographic art” workshop - similar ideas - & am hoping to incorporate some of this into my daily practice. It’s so interesting & I think might help get the words flowing in a new way

It's like spell-casting in some way...so cool that you went to a neurographic art workshop and that this connects—hope it brings you what you need!
