Just like the picture says above\u2026.words are art, too!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If I could encourage you to do one thing, it would be to listen to your heart and create.  Your heart might be desperate to draw and you\u2019ve not done it because you\u2019re not very good.  If you\u2019ve always dreamed of writing poetry or stories, do it.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Very few of us humans start out naturally good at anything.  But if there\u2019s a small voice inside of you that has been desperate to do something creative, listen to it.  Start now. Start small.  Let the beginning be just that.  A beginning.  Take those first few wobbly steps; and soon you\u2019ll be walking steady and sure.  It doesn\u2019t happen over night though.  Just acknowledge that and know that it\u2019s part of the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m planning on writing some for this Art Challenge.  It\u2019s another creative outlet that I\u2019ve always dreamed about.  I\u2019ve have written some, here and there but recently I\u2019ve embraced creative writing along side drawing.  When I do express myself through art or writing, it feeds my soul in ways that very little else does.  There\u2019s a satisfaction in doing something that the very core of you longs for.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Is there a part of you that desires to create in a way that you\u2019ve been denying yourself?  I\u2019d totally encourage you to join us as we spend the month of September creating.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can find the details here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/xangelle.com\/dailygrind\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/September-Art-Challenge.pdf\">Click for the Art Challenge pdf.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What if I\u2019m more interested in writing than I am in drawing or painting?
