You obviously have been aware that I have failed to post new content to this blog since its inception, late last Oct 09. There is a simple reason for this. I am in the middle of redefining the purpose and meaning of this blog. At first, I intended it to be a simple forum for sharing my thoughts. This goal has not changed. What has changed is the "simple" factor.
I have been planning behind the scene as to what precisely I would like to say, without being just another voice, screaming from the depth of the e-ocean, to be heard. Maybe this is where my specialty, the creative coaching thing, comes handy.
I work with artists. All types of artists: actors, musicians, performers, and writers. The bulk of my clients consists mainly of the latter: novelists, authors, and screenwriters. My main task consists in helping them to shape their projects in a way that resonate with them. To find their voice. What does this mean? Well, Purpose and meaning. So I ask questions such as: Why do you want to write this stuff? Do you honestly want to spend 2, 3 or more years with this idea? I always underline these questions because a great idea does not necessarily makes a great project. Why? Simply because, often there is no resonance. The creator is acting from a place of mind, the idea, and not of body, the theme, which is always about the experience of life. And the feeling that comes with it. No human connection makes for arid projects.
So how on earth does this relate to my planning? Well, it sums up. I could just write for the sake of writing. I am no this indulgent. So I took a deep breath, some latitude, to reflect on the purpose and meaning of this blog. Which boils down to how you, dear readers, would enjoy reading it. A quick return to the basics and within weeks I had devised an outline, a series of postings, which I will attempt to abide to at the rate of one per week.
So stay tune for my posting on the topic of creative coaching, relationships with others and self, the greatness of narrative, the rigidity of the left-brain thinking, and many more. And how they relate to you, your life, your authentic voice, and how they will expand you.
Looking forward
Frederic
