“Go a little bit out of your depth and when you don't feel your feet are quite touching the bottom, you're just about in the right place to do something exciting."

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.

We all have that wildly talented friend who can do something likewhip out a napkin and draw a masterpiece.
YOU can be that talented friend… if you’re willing to make garbage.

Creative, you know that gut-wrenching fear that you’re making “bad” art?

Creative, don’t let all of this crush you.
If you want to make it through All This while retaining who you are and what you believe, making art is a powerful way to do that.

We both know the trap: “Next year will be different!”
It will be, creative—but you will find it a LOT easier to create if you start now and don’t wait for the New Year.
Inertia is your friend.

I know you don’t have much time. To create, you need to TAKE that time.
Don’t waste the time you’ve salvaged by being unprepared.

Bad news: it will never be perfect because you’re always growing, so you can always improve.
Worse news: if you don’t make it, it will never get done.
Best news: Make it anyway, and you will grow as an artist.

Creative, sometimes your project blows up. It happens.
It does not mean YOU are a failure—any more than rolling a natural one means you can never play again. #2rulerecovery #forwriters #forartists #creatives

You are not behind.
You are where you need to be to make the art unique to you.

Getting out of block can hurt.
Much the same way as recovering from a broken bone, the process of healing can be painful, but it is also worth that effort.

You have time to do SOMETHING. Yes, you really do—and if you’re going to build an unshakable habit of creation, then making time to do something—even tiny and terrible—counts. #2rulerecovery #forwriters #forartists #creatives

Let it be tiny. Let it be terrible. But let it exist. #forwriters #forartists #forcreatives

Creative, fill your well. If you don’t remind yourself that the world IS beautiful and people ARE worth fighting for, you will lie down and give up.
Don’t give up.

Ready for a fantastic tool in your toolbox?
One that can’t age out or vanish with technology changes or store closures. One that can sustain your choices for the rest of your life.
Creative, it’s time to find your “why.”
