Creativity & Cross-Training


Shortly after my previous post (March 1st), I decided to quit posting. Instead, I would use the time to complete some pieces I’m showing locally (premiered March 16th).

Since that time, I’ve obviously not posted—but I’ve also not had a bumper crop in terms of my art. It seems that creating blog postings correlates strongly with progress in other areas of my creative expression. What’s the connection? It could be that writer’s block effects all one’s creative expression, but I’m seriously considering another possibility.

Our USA Olympians are familiar with cross-training—artists may not be as familiar with the concept and its practice. Running has been a part of my life for almost 40 years—and I recognize the benefit occasional cycling has on my running. I intend to entertain the possibility that blogging may enhance other areas of my creative expression.

The point is you’ll see more frequent postings on this blog—the approach being one of creative cross-training.

Responding to these postings may or may not effect your creative expression—either way, I’m sharing in order to receive.
