KG, excellent post. I do feel connected to understanding the limits of perfectionism.
Did you ever hear about Stefan G. Bucher's DAILY MONSTER? Basically Stefan frees his creativity by blowing on ink spots he drops on a paper. He then "translates" the spot into a Monster. Insightful as he challenges other artists to tell a story about his monster and now also to interpret the "open source spots" he blows. You should check an example here :

Great advice. Authenticity is always the way to go. Ugly or not.

Mimi — Authenticity, absolutely! Nice to "see" you here. :)

Oh, I love this! When I started blogging, I was surprised to find myself just throwing the words out there, letting go of logic to find chaos, which often seems to take me back to some kind of skewed logic. I type the posts, give them a quick once-over for typos, and click Publish. Wabi-sabi!

I'm enjoying your blog very much. Thank you for being so eclectic and so readable.

Hi Verna — Glad you're enjoying your visit here! Sounds like you've captured wabi-sabi blogging. :)

Hello and welcome!

  • My name is Kristin Gorski. I recently earned my doctorate (EdD) in instructional technology and media. My research focuses on technology and literacies, writing in digital spaces, and how media literacy may support academic literacy (among other incredibly interesting topics). On occasion, I’m also a freelance writer and editor. “Write now is good.” is my personal blog about writing, creativity and inspiration (with healthy doses of technology in relevant places). I started it in blogging's heyday (2006) and still post to it, time permitting.
