Writing About Art

Posted by Jenn Greenleaf Jan 7, 2009

It seems I’ve gotten the “art bug” again because I’ve been writing about art related topics for my other writing gigs . . . not just for my topic on this site. I know there’s nothing wrong with this and that’s not why I’m bringing it up. I’m bringing it up because I think my “muse” is trying to tell me something . . .

“You should be creating art, not just writing about how to create art.”

There’s no school today because it’s snowing really hard outside, so this is a perfect opportunity to work on art projects with my children. I just wrote about how to use Christmas things in art projects for two different sites, including this one, so I think I’m going to use that as the foundation for art creation with the kids today. There’s a lot of Christmas themed activity books and Christmas themed coloring books around here, as well as Christmas cards . . . so we can work on art projects all day!

Is your muse trying to tell you something? How often do you listen to your muse? Is it a habit for you to ignore your muse?
