So I have a confession to make. I don’t always feel creative. And even when I do make something, my inner critic can devalue my efforts fairly easily. So I decided to give this voice a name and a face so I could overcome it, or at least confront it. Goon. That’s the first name that came to mind. She is small, brown and furry, with a very long pokey nose. Oh, and she is sticking out her tongue. She is meant to be worn around my neck. (Metaphor intended.) I didn’t spend a lot of time designing or making Goon. Rather, I cobbled the creature together with leftover bits. The craftsmanship is shoddy and the thing will likely fall apart in a short time. But that is intentional too. Say goodbye to the inner critic.
