Reaching Your Full Creative Potential: Automatic or Free writing is based on a presumption that, while everybody has something to say and the ability to say it, the mental wellspring may be blocked by apathy, self-criticism, resentment, anxiety about deadlines, fear of failure or censure, or other forms of resistance. The accepted rules of free-writing enable a writer to build up enough momentum to blast past blocks into uninhibited flow. #creative #inspiration #gainingmomentum #howtogettothegoodstuff

Why You Just Can't Help But Selfie

#Selfies...can't live with them, can't live without them. The pope, the president, maybe even your grandmother -- everyone's taking one. Have you ever wondered why you can't resist the urge to turn the camera on yourself? The pros and cons of a society that loves "selfies" --> http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/12/16/science-of-the-selfie_n_4435308.html

We do it from the mundane comfort of our bedrooms and offices and to commemorate special occasions, like a beach vacation or the high school prom. It has its own spot in the dictionary, right next to "selfhood" and "selfish."
