Here’s My #DoodleADay for today:

 A scribble pulls on your imagination to birth it into a new creation.

I have been doodling a lot in transit lately.  Passing the time in a meditative focus on doodling.  Of course it’s hard to keep a steady hand when the movement of traveling interferes.  Instead I have been welcoming these little jolts which add to the unpredictability of my doodle, and introduce new shapes and textures. Imperfect they may be, but not mistakes.  In doodling anything goes and for this one needs to go with the flow and embrace it all.  A scribble pulls on your imagination to birth it into a new creation. An “out-of-place” line calls on innovative acceptance.  It’s all okay.

Why join this doodle a day challenge? You can read my post on 10 reasons to doodle here if you need some motivation.

The #DoodleADay challenge:  (for more details see my first post Doodle a Day Challenge)

Everyday for the month of October, I will make a doodle and you are invited to join me.  It can be as simple as black ink on white paper or white ink on black or coloured paper or you can do a line doodle and colour it in. It’s up to you. Work on it as little or as much as you want, but make sure you finish each doodle.

An optional part of the doodle challenge:

For those of you who would like to use the doodles for self exploration you can take it a step further by free writing about your doodle after making it. Describe what you  see and then reflect on any metaphors or symbols you notice on your written response.
