Scary? Not. My techniques for getting in touch with your critic are pretty amiable. He’s not going anywhere so let’s get to know him!
I’ll encourage you to move quickly, outrunning your critical left brain. Think storms of words, lines, papers and color and a comfort in imperfect (gasp!) journal pages. Games and prompts will help you locate that critic-free space within. That power gives you the strength to begin a communication. Go here for more details.
