Hi, my name is Ramona, and I’m about to embark on a full year of the Creative Every Day Challenge (#CED2010 on twitter). I admit that I am powerless over my creative dalliances, and that my life has become pretty much un-freaking-manageable because of them. I have come to believe that a Power greater than myself has led me to this group of over 400 creatives, and that the challenge of being creative every day just might restore me to some semblance of sanity. Or at least that’s the plan.
Ok, there. That’s off my chest. Are you satisfied? I’ve at least taken the first step to admitting that what I’m doing just ain’t working for me. What did Einstein say about insanity? That the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”? Yeah, that’s me. Beating my head against the same wall over and over, doing it in my own little vacuum, and refusing to reach out. Well, call it serendipity, synchronicity, or the Universe just catching my prayer and lobbing a great tool with great people back at me. My mission, should I choose to accept it (and I do), is to make the most of this opportunity. To learn to go with my own Flow. To not compare myself or my work to others. To not be so intimidated by the “real” artists. To admit to myself that I am creative in my own special way, and that I do indeed have something to give to the World.
Wow, that was hard. Can I sit down now?
oops, sorry for calling you Rowena, Ramona! It was late when I wrote and there’s another CED participant I know well with that name.

Hi Rowena, I enjoyed your post. I came here via the Creative Every Day group, and I hope you like it as much as I do. It’s an encouraging and inspiring group.
