As the events of my life would have it, I am unable to take the photoshop for photographer’s class with my other courses I am already taking. I was luckily enough to get most of my money refunded for it which was immensely annoying. The school did fight me on giving me back my money; luckily I was able to convince them to do so. It still was more stress then I wanted to deal with it.

With work, classes and the homework those classes have produce I find myself lacking time to do anything overly creative. Hell it was a struggle to find time to go to the gym and I only work a few blocks away from it. I am finding myself more and more needing some type of creative outlet. School I my mental out let, something to work my brain, they gym is my physical outlet, I have recently began to go back, but I am lacking a spiritual or creative one.

Now as a person of balance I strive to be this is totally unacceptable to me. I believe having a creative outlet is paramount to a healthy well being and a great stress reliever and I always need more of those.

I plan to incorporate a monthly photo hunt day to force myself to learn more about photography and just to get out there and do it. Those that wish to join me can and if anyone can suggest a good thing to hunt for then all the better then. I will also take the initiative and begin to self teach myself the post work that goes into photo correction. I have found a few online sources as well as hard cover that will help in doing this. I also hope by the New Year I will have my first Wacom Tablet to help with this. It is a process of learning.

I also hope to be able to post some of my writing to my Deviant Arts page as an attempt to encourage me to write even more. I have been thinking of setting a page count limit for writing a week as another away of motivating myself to do time, anything to stir up my creative energy and be more active with them.

All I need to do is set aside some time to do this all and that will be the greatest challenge for me.

Let see how that work.
