Creatives, if what you make is truly worthless, then why are multibillion-dollar companies going to court for the right to steal it?

Quitting does not mean you failed.
There is no wasted art because you learned while making it.
The next project will be better.

Now that “thought crimes” are heading into law as domestic terrorism, I find myself drawn to a quote from Jean-Luc Picard.
“If we're going to be damned, let's be damned for what we really are.”

Creative, any change requires time for you to adapt.
A better diet. A new sleep schedule. You don’t see results right away.
This applies to your art.

The same part of your brain lights up with imagination as your favorite artist’s.
Yes, you have the right to create, whether it’s “good” or not.

Psst, creative.
This is your reminder that art is supposed to be fun.
When was the last time you made things just because you wanted?

This is your reminder that words have power.
It is time to call yourself what you are: writer, artist, photographer.
Not, “I will be…”
“I AM.”

In the middle of all this, it may seem like there’s no point to making your art.
There is. It helps you be a better human, and we desperately need better humans now.

In 1969, art critic David Sylvester told the BBC “The Visual Scene” that artists must be allowed to do bad work, or the pressure would keep them from making good work.
He was right.

If you tie the act of creation to reward, you will struggle to do it with regularity. If, however, making things is your everyday normal, then you can create anytime and anywhere, no matter what’s going on.

If you want good art, you need to be willing to make bad art.
It’s time to make garbage.

“If you shoot for the moon and miss, you’ll still land among the stars.”
The message is clear: make the art even if it’s messy, and that’s how to improve.

You, however, can’t fail at art. Why? Because you can get up and try again.

THIS IS YOUR REMINDER, CREATIVE: Finish that draft or sketch or whatever it is before even worrying about making it “right.”
Make it messy! Make it ugly! Once it exists, you can make it good.
