Wishcasting... What to Become

This week Jamie asked us, "What do you wish to become?" What a loaded question.

I had to laugh when I read Molly's post, because her initial reaction was word-for-word the same as mine: what don't I wish to become? When I was younger I could always imagine myself doing different things and going different places- a firefighter, a cake decorator, a concertizing musician, a dentist, an acrobat, an arctic explorer, a surgeon, a professor, an ethereal singer in a goth-metal band, a chemist, a yogi, and on ward. It should be no surprise that I was that student who had changed (officially) their major four times during their undergraduate studies. Although my heart led me to music, here I am- back in school to take myself and my craft in a new direction. It has never been in my nature to remain static.

My wish is to become a dynamic river of ingenuity, my mind evermore streaming with inquiry, exploration, and imagination. My wish is that I may always desire to forge my craft in new directions, and never be satisfied with being a stagnant creative bog.

What do you wish?

Merry Writings.

Wishcasting for Creativity

The lovely Jamie posted the following thoughtful Wishcasting prompt today: What do you wish for your creativity?

Lately I feel that I have put my creativity in the garden shed. I have been so concerned with standards, scoring rubrics, and parameters that I missed planting season, so my creative bulb remains dormant. My wish is rather simple:

I wish to reacquaint myself the creative being I know I am, and to let her blossom.
