Fire Your Inner Critic


Allen heard on the radio the other day an interview with Dr. Dan about inner critics.  It's a short interview, go have a listen.  It was pretty interesting and got me looking around the web for more articles about our "inner critics".  Mine is a nasty little bugger, always showing up when I least expect it and a very unwelcome guest in my head.  Anyway, I read that writing down the evil things your inner critic says will help get those thoughts out of your brain so you can move on.  I made this spread just for the purpose.  On the left I'll be writing down all the nasty little things my inner critic says and hopefully moving on...

This lettering is a new "font" I'm trying to install into my brain.  I really like it...it's playful...easy to letter...but mostly it just feels like me.  It just sort of came to me while on a break at work the other day when I was doodling  You can see my letters are still slanting up to the right a bit (was that my inner critic speaking?) and I'm still working on fixing that.

This page was made with inexpensive watercolors, Micron pens, text pages and scrap paper.

That's an awesome idea!! And, of course, the pages will be gorgeous.
