'VOICES IN YOUR HEAD' CREATIVE WRITING WORKSHOP
EVERY ONE OF US HEARS VOICES IN OUR HEAD, THE TYPE OF INCESSANT CHATTER THAT IS CONSTANTLY QUESTIONING, COMPARING, AND CRITICIZING OURSELVES AS WELL AS THE PEOPLE AROUND US. IT'S THE PART OF OUR MINDS WORKING IN OVERDRIVE, REACTING TO CONTINUOUS STIMULI WE ARE EXPOSED TO EVERY WAKEN MOMENT, IN SIGHT AND IN SOUND. OFTEN, WE CHOOSE TO IGNORE THESE VOICES, SETTING THEM ASIDE AS IDLE THOUGHTS, AND RETURN TO OUR DAILY ROUTINE OF WORK, OR EVEN MORE STIMULI, WHERE OUR MINDS ARE THOROUGHLY ENGAGED AND ENTERTAINED.
WHAT IF WE SLOWED DOWN TO ADDRESS THESE VOICES? WHAT IF WE TRULY LISTENED TO OURSELVES AND RESPOND TO THESE QUESTIONS?

IN THE PAST, ARTISTS CREATED VARIOUS FONT TYPES AND APPLIED CALLIGRAPHIC SKILLS TO PRESENT THE UNIQUE AESTHETIC VISUAL QUALITIES OF LANGUAGE.
