Journal writing helps

When I'm making something new to me -- and I'm definitely doing that 
with my current work -- I sometimes get so tense.  So many, 'what
ifs?' come into my brain.  Yikes.  Combine that with even a 
few minutes of news, and I don't know what to do.

The answer is writing in a journal every morning. I'm trying to 
get back to two pages of writing, and then a sketch.  Here's
the sketch from yesterday -- a serious young woman.  And
today the ideas were coming through! Yay.

Have a loving your life day!
