The Allure Of An Empty Hallway by Maxine L. Garcia.docx

Biography: Having a sense of loneliness is the sad nature of many creatives. I too suffer from this problem. Due to this I have found all forms of art to be quite cathartic. I’m always looking for new things to try, even if I’m not very good at them. For example, I have tried drawing, poetry, writing, sewing, sculpting, and painting. However, drawing and poetry are what I’m best at. Sometimes when you feel out of inspiration, drawing or writing something nonsensical and strange can help you to give up on perfectionism and just make stuff. Then you can look at that stuff and think to yourself, “what is this?” and after that you can just laugh.
