I’m in a class this semester called creativity in fashion and interiors. the title alone is enough to make a girl like me to squeal in excitement. we’re reading a book by twyla tharp called the creative habit in which she talks about how creativity is a process developed through a disciplined routine. I find that very interesting and yet oddly true. while I think of those creative geniuses as being all over the place, there is an ironic amount of structure to every creative gift.

I attempted to take this to heart and decided that I wanted to make a routine of mine to be awake by 8 each morning even though I don’t have class till 11 so I could have that time for myself to read, workout, clean, BE CREATIVE, etc. today as I snoozed till 10:15, I realized this routine may be a little more difficult to get into than I’d hoped, but I’ll keep working at it. perhaps my creative solution will be to sleep with my blinds open.

we also are doing keri smith’s 100 things. below is my first one. #92: devise an entry using “layers.” we have to do 3 a week and I’m looking forward to what I’ll draw next from my little bag of ideas. it’s also a nice way to use other mediums other than my blog and decorating my room to be creative. you should do these too!!
