Let Yo’ Creative Flag Fly!

Hello friends!

Danielle Krysa aka The Jealous Curator talks about your inner critic and how to…well, shut it up.
As a kid, I remember spending the good part of a Saturday choreographing and directing a talent
show with my sister and I as the stars. There were songs, (Christmas songs, even though it was
July) skits, flyers, (two: one for my mom and one for my dad), and an EPIC opening act involving
my sister and I loudly marching down the stairs with my Fisher Price tape recorder on my shoulder
chanting “I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU’VE BEEN TOLD…”

The point is that I would likely not do that today, (without at least two to three glasses of wine
in me) but it reminds me that maybe once in a while  I should turn off Orphan Black and get back to
my creative roots.

Danielle Krysa convinces me that this is a good idea with her latest book, Creative Block: Get Unstuck,
Discover New Ideas. Advice & Projects from 50 Successful Artists, from Chronicle Books. Check it out:
