I do plan to continue posting exercises, at a slightly slower pace than May: probably one or two a month. I think that sense of hearing and connection and feedback is really vital to artistic -- and personal -- growth. Thank you, Barbara.

The phrasing for audience made me think of how important it can be to have an audience of any kind -- that audience enables us to "be heard" and provides a sense of connection. Flipside, really listening to people with empathy reminds us "it's not all about me and what's in my head" ... we are not creating all alone in some void -- we are part of humanity, we are connected, immediately, in this world. I hope you will add more exercises in June. :) Thank you for this series of thoughtful exercises!

Flipside, really listening to people with empathy reminds us “it’s not all about me and what’s in my head” … we are not creating all alone in some void — we are part of humanity, we are connected, immediately, in this world.

I hope you will add more exercises in June. :)
