The Serpent
I reread the introduction to THE ARTIST'S WAY last night and this bit about our internal critics.
"Think of your Censor as a cartoon serpent, slithering around your creative Eden, hissing vile things to keep you off guard. [....] Just making the Censor into the nasty, clever little character that it is begins to pry loose some of its power over you and your creativity." (from pg 11 of the 2002 pb edition, if you want to look it up.)
As I tread in new writing territory, I've found my inner critic to have a strong presence. I'll have to play around with personifying my critical voice this week and will see what happens.
