Don’t feel like talking (Drawing: Lines inside hand)

Buy one of my drawings

The exercises in the book Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain seem to be working.

I haven’t done much the last few days. I haven’t written any articles because I didn’t feel like talking and writing is a form of silent talking. Neither did I draw anything.
Drawings come with little stories I repeat in my head until I write them down. Since I didn’t feel like talking I couldn’t get myself to do a drawing.

The last few days I’ve just been playing some computer games. Feeling a little disappointed about the whole “Right brain” thing. It didn’t work. Nothing changed.
Only yesterday I realized that I actually couldn’t expect anything to have change since I’ve only just started with the book. I should continue.

I did and found that what I’m experiencing right now is perfectly normal. After doing the first few assignments people usually feel resistance against talking.

I am experiencing a few problems that give me the feeling that the left side of my brain won’t just give up control. But I’ll tell some more about that in a while.
For now, here the next assignment.
While looking at your left hand you have to draw the lines in your hand. You have to draw for five minutes without looking at the drawing.
The idea seems to be to bore the left side of your brain into submission.

To know when the five minutes are reached you have to set a timer.
With the first attempt I got bored and stopped. After the second attempt I felt that I might get a better result if I tried again.
I don’t think I did. Although you can’t tell by looking at the drawing since the drawing is only meant to be an tool to reach a certain feeling.
