Okay, I know that some of my friends are a little hesitant, but I am urging you, begging you, to go to [livejournal.com profile] sshg_promptfest right now, and pick a prompt and write/draw/craft/cook/sing whatever!

There are still so many awesome prompts waiting for you to go and claim them. It's so easy, and really, all of us have creative strengths. It doesn't have to be an epic; it can be a poem. It can be a song! There are prompts that would allow you to create a recipe for food, or make dolls to represent the characters, or a crosstitch or crochet or knitting item. I've seen people put together scrapbooks for a prompt. Last time someone created jewelry.

Everyone has the ability, and the need to create. If you're not sure what your medium is, or how to use your medium, just go through the prompts - one of them is waiting for you. This is a magnificent opportunity to play to your strengths with a pairing and a fandom that loves originality and cleverness when putting together something for a prompt.

You CAN create. You can give a treasured gift to someone. You can do it! Don't hesitate, don't doubt; just go there now, and create. The world is waiting to hear your story, no matter how you choose to tell it. Open up your heart to inspiration; it will give you a feeling of accomplishment like no other. Don't be afraid.

Part of me wants to. But aside from some very short random stuff I haven't written a lot in ages. I wouldn't want to have to back out.

Then don't! Set yourself an obtainable goal, and just tell yourself, "I'm going to do this!"

That way, if you do decide not to, you will know that you have control over the situation. You have chosen to back out. But you can also choose to do it! I have total faith. You know you can do it if you want to. And if part of you does, then really, all of you does.

I was really inspired while reading this. Um, do you think you could write one about laundry and dishes? K, thanks. :)

Thank you! I'm sure motivational messages can be used for those things. You'd never know it to see my kitchen and my laundry pile, but I'm sure they do! ;)

Yeah Teddy!

I don't suppose you be willing to repost this on the newbies page, would you? I think it might nudge couple of people in the right direction :)

I'm sitting on the fence, afraid to fail both the mod and my recipient.

Self doubt I haz it by the barrow load.

Whatever you do, the only person you need to worry about is yourself. Neither the mod nor the recipient would see anything your do as a failure, I promise.

You cannot fail either of them. You have a wonderful talent, and I would love to see you join in this fest - please do not doubt. Perhaps this is what Erica is trying to tell you - this will be a great way to re-connect to your creativity, and perhaps that is a way to re-connect to healing within. I realise you are going through so much right now, but perhaps this is one of the ways that you can find peace and control.

You are a talented, generous writer. That generosity runs both ways. Your nourish yourself when you create. I hope you will do it.

I'm waiting until the end. I always like to come in late and pick a prompt that no one else wanted :)

You CAN create. You can give a treasured gift to someone. You can do it! Don't hesitate, don't doubt; just go there now, and create. The world is waiting to hear your story, no matter how you choose to tell it. Open up your heart to inspiration; it will give you a feeling of accomplishment like no other. Don't be afraid.

What she said!!
