I was born in Jerusalem in 1977 and have been living in Switzerland since 2009.
As a writer, painter, and self-employed teacher, I am very passionate about sharing and passing on creativity and writing and painting skills.
I have been writing for fun since childhood. Currently I am writing poetry and short stories.
For me, writing is about playing with words, letting them inspire ideas and allowing them to take me onto the next line. When I write, I forget about being smart or finding big, important issues to write about. I let any idea come, and find life on paper.

Lihi Ben Haim's Blog: Write Poetry - Creativity and Inspiration

What prevents creative work from getting done? Resistance.

I'd like to share some more thoughts about experiencing resistance while trying to keep up creative work. Sometimes, indeed, resistance stands between me and my creativity. In order to find my way around it, I find it helpful to Identify and define what is going on. Pressfield is doing that wonderfully:

No pretensions: just poetry. Stop by, recommend books, offer up poems (excerpted), tempt us, taunt us, tell us what to read and where to go (to read No pretensions: just poetry. Stop by, recommend books, offer up poems (excerpted), tempt us, taunt us, tell us what to read and where to go (to read it!) Goodreads honors wordsmiths: poets and poetry promoted and prompted here. ~~~ "Poetry is the synthesis of hyacinths and biscuits." -- Carl Sandburg “God has a brown voice, as soft and full as beer.” —Anne Sexton On Clouds – “…what primitive tastes the ancients must have had if their poets were inspired by those absurd, untidy clumps of mist, idiotically jostling one another about…” —Yevgeny Zamyatin “If the poet wants to be a poet, the poet must force the poet to revise. If the poet doesn’t wish to revise, let the poet abandon poetry and take up stamp-collecting or real estate.” —Donald Hall “Poetry is a rich, full-bodied whistle, cracked ice crunching in pails, the night that numbs the leaf, the duel of two nightingales, the sweet pea that has run wild, Creation’s tears in shoulder blades.” —Boris Pasternak “Wanted: a needle swift enough to sew this poem into a blanket.” —Charles Simic “Language is a cracked kettle on which we beat out tunes for bears to dance to, while all the time we long to move the stars to pity.” —Gustave Flaubert “Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It’s that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that’s what the poet does.” —Allen Ginsberg. ~~~~~ Amy King, Moderator Amy King is the recipient of the 2015 Winner of the WNBA Award (Women’s National Book Association).
