I have kept all of my daughters drawlings since kindergarden. I think anyone willing to take the time and interest into anything of art, should be applauded.

DREAMY is the word. They are awesome, takes me to a different world, when I dreamed as a child about something..........something unknown, untouchable. They are just dreamy. DREAMY is the word.

My degree was just icing on the cake - the experience of working with all the other artists and living in different cities was worth more to me than the education. I was born an artist. I didn't know that when I was very young - I just knew I didn't think about the same things that the deer hunters and pregnant women thought about (I'm from Appalachia). I also wrote short stories and here's my blog with some funny stuff (and sad stuff): http://artbyvirginiaerdie.blogspot.com I think being an artist is a mind thing - even if you never paint or act or do anything in this physical world. I cried with delight when one of the very poor residents of Miami became famous overnight (Purvis Young). I hung out with him and he's just a man who took on the psychological and socio-economical plight of a very distressed Miami and painted all his feelings about it. It's the meaning in his art that is so important and the painting "technique" comes second.

This afternoon my mom came over and we painted together all afternoon. Her with oil, me with watercolor, a mother-daughter painting day. It was priceless. Daz, I love that red dress. I want to wear it! I wish I could jump into that painting like a Mary Poppins sidewalk chalk picture and wear that dress and go on an adventure. Yes, I am a writer because I say so and I am an artist because I say so.

I appreciate the point you were trying to make (or, at least, the point I THINK you were trying to make) about having a larger goal, something that's <i>just</i> out of our grasp, to keep us thinking and moving and creating. To be honest with you, though, my writing has never been about the grand, over-arching story. I like the little snippets of life - I think I'd make a really good journalist for NPR. On your advice, though, I've been thinking about a longer short story that I may write, both because it's a challenge and because it may serve as a sort of therapy to help me parse out something important that's happening in my life at the moment. I'm drafting in my head. I'll gestate it a bit longer and see if a form develops. So, what I'm trying to say (in my usual, long-winded, complex-sentence way) is that I know that I'm a writer whether or not I ever publish beyond my blog, but also that I'm willing to risk moving out of my comfort zone for the experience of seeing where my writing takes me.
