Forget resolutions in 2022: Welcome a surprising year with a great question!
I’ve found a better way to transform my year creatively: ask a question that will guide me in exploring possibility all year long! One of my students years ago told me I asked impossible questions – and that’s what she loved about working with me, because she found amazing and unexpected answers as she explored. I’ve always pushed my writing forward with open-ended, challenging questions. But it wasn’t until two years ago that I opened up my life with them.
Just to let you know, these questions can open up your life without burdening you with excessive seriousness! I’ve found that when I ask an open-ended question (like the one that led to my year of photographing dinosaurs!), it recharges me whether it leads me to a year of play or to a year of diving into serious writing.
