Everyone has different styles of creation.
Some do it in the morning. Some need to work at night. Some need white noise; others need silence.
None of these ways are wrong as long as you CREATE.

Do you remember joy, creative?
It may have been a long time since you could take real pleasure in what you make.
There’s good news. You can get back to that.

Getting out of block is like avoiding heat stroke. It can be done, but it requires you be mindful about doing some things…
And doubly mindful about avoiding others.

Creative, you need hope. Without it, you’ll never commit to your art (why would you, if it might fail).
Without commitment, the art will not be made.

Jordan Peele said it right: when it comes to a first draft, your’e shoveling sand in a box. LATER, you can make a castle, but if you don’t start by shoveling sand, you will have nothing to build.

Sand first. Castles later.

“We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race, and the human race is filled with passion.”
—Robin Williams, “Dead Poets Society”

Robin Williams was right.

Living things need to consume.
If you don’t read, you will not write well. If you don’t look at art, you will not draw well.
Good news, Creative: nothing is stopping you from feeding yourself right now.

Creative, it's time to CONSUME.

Creative, your brain is an amazing thing. It can form habits! It can also break them.
It’s time to talk about the habit of creation.

Creation is inertia.

This is the thing the AI bros simply do not understand.
We don’t want to just HAVE the art. We want to MAKE the art!
And that desire? Is all the justification we need.

Funny thing about pottery, creative. In order to finish that work, you have to risk its destruction.
Another funny thing. This applies directly to YOUR art.

You haven’t lost your hope, creative.
It hibernates underground, but it is ALIVE.
Your job is to dig it up.

Hope is not the same as an expectation.
One will keep you moving. The other shatters when hit. Creative, you need to know the difference.

You can do this, creative.
Yes, you can. How do I know? Because you learned how you use the device AND platform you’re reading this on. Yes, you can learn. Yes, you can grow.

This sounds fortune-cookie, but I swear it’s not. You know, “Use it, or you’ll lose it?”
Hope is that way. If all you do is take in darkness, you will lose the ability to see the light.

Creative, are you overwhelmed?
So am I. Darn near drowning, in fact.
There id good news: even under it all, you can still create.
