This year I experienced a bit of a battle with completing and successfully submitting a proposal for my Masters thesis in Drama and Performance Studies. After a few struggles with confidence in writing and honing my study into a specific areas with direction, my work was approved. Key to this experience was allowing myself to remember what sparked my initial interest in that area of research. In the thrill of starting a new project we want to routinize and plan to the point where we can find no creative paths into what we're trying to develop. Too much routine deflates the creative spirit.
I have this wild dream that I am am going to commit to completing the Santiago de Compostela Pilgrimage.
I will do the necessary physical preparation and I will pack lightly, but I will remember that it is as much a mental walk as it is a physical walk. This is just one of the possibilities I'd like to explore with Driftwood Dreamer. Through this blog I want to write about experiences and encounters through reviews of films, books and live performances; of adventures in my own backyard and places outside of my doorstep, and to offer my perspective on social and current issues. One of the most important elements of this blog is my creative writing specifically with what I call my monopoems, very close to spoken word, a form I'm falling deeply for especially after coming across...

Will I develop any business ventures out of this experience? That would be an exciting direction to step into. I am happy to be presented with a few mysteries along the way. I hope it will continue to take me to very creative paths. This blog is my creative walk.
