We were sorry to see Susan K. Perry of our Writer’s Mind blog leave after only a few short months blogging with us. By all accounts, people enjoyed her blog and I know I learned something about writing from her insights. But producing new and interesting blog entries week after week can sometimes be more work than people realize. (Trust me, I understand!)

But as they say, when one door closes, another one opens. With that, I’m pleased to introduce our new blog on psychology and creativity, The Creative Mind, with Douglas Eby.

The Creative Mind will explore some of the main emotional and psychological topics that can affect how well or how freely creative people are able to express themselves. Douglas hopes to cater this blog to both professionals and to anyone who may want to further develop or enhance their existing creative abilities.

One of the main ideas of the blog is that it will provide current information from psychology, along with the perspectives of writers, actors, designers and other artists on their inner experiences.

Douglas Eby is a writer and researcher on the psychology of creative expression and personal growth, and has a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology.

Please head on over to The Creative Mind and give Douglas a big, warm Psych Central welcome!!
