“Dear Artists All of Your Answers Are on the Other Side of your Fear.”
Whenever I see Pierre Bennu’s tweets , @exittheapple in my stream I get excited because I know that he is going to bring something, witty, irreverent and inspiring.

In some ways his tweets provide all three. Here are some more below:

I LOVE this post! Thank you for sharing. I haven’t picked up my writing book in over a year. I have so many things to put down on paper. And I haven’t done so because I kept telling myself “I am not ready to write.” What ever that means right? I mean, when is one ever READY? I just recently accepted the fact that its not that I am not ready, is that I am afraid of letting go. Making it available for everyone. Selfish a bit. But its much more deeper than that. Scary. Pierre is right. There IS power in vulnerability. Now, I just wanna lock myself up and take a vacation from my 9-5… And write… =)
Girl.
20 years ago I had a break up. So I suddenly had a LOT of free time.
I am grumpy in the morning.
BUT. I found myself waking up, without an alarm @ 6:30 in the am so that I could write.

“There is power in vulnerability, you cannot fly with one wing over your heart.”
Mmm. Hmmm. I like that. I like that a lot. I’m still learning how to embrace this, what Azar Nafisi called “an audacious vulnerability” in her memoir Things I’ve Been Silent About. The funny thing is, when you meet someone (like This Dude I met a couple of weeks ago) who is vulnerable and open, it frees you up to do the same. There’s give and take. It’s balanced. It’s a good feeling. I’m not always the best at embracing it but I’m working on that.
As far as your actual questions, I get inspired by people I meet, books I read, the way light will hit a window in a certain way, a turn of phrase, an intimate, almost off-hand gesture…lots of small moments.
How to deal with fears and doubt: before I used to ignore it or try to will it away. That always led to a funk. Now I acknowledge it’s there but refuse to let it completely take over. I do my best to just work through it. It’s not fail proof but it helps.
Successes…um, this is one! http://www.lacda-archives.com/lacda/lacda_image_archives/Pages/LACDA_2010_Top_40_Winners.html#16
