In the several creative development experiences I have had during the past two years, several themes have proven constant.  And effective.

Experiences:

• The War of Art
• Breaking Through and VIA
• Community Fiction Workshop
• ComedySportz
• Shining Eyes at a Staff Meeting
  
• Advanced Breaking Through for Graduates
• Hypnosis

Themes:

• Be real
• Be open
• The Fear Never Goes Away
• Be courageous
• It’s All Made Up
• I’ve Got This
• Resistance is relentless
• At exactly the right times, The Universe will always remind you of remember Rule No. 6: “Don’t Take Yourself so Damn Seriously”

That’s 20. Seventy to go.
