“I tried to draw, and I couldn’t.”
“I tried to write, and I couldn’t.”

It’s often sad. Sometimes, it’s a relief. Good or bad, endings are part of life.
Creative, sometimes that means mourning your art.

Life doesn’t always look the way you hoped. In fact, it usually does not.
That doesn’t mean you can’t create.

A “failure” is implied to be a permanent state. Creative, you’re still alive. You did NOT fail, and that means you can try again.

We tend to grieve our lost time like a chunk taken out of us by a predator, impossible to regain.
That isn’t true. Creative, you did not LOSE that time.

It’s No Shame Friday, creatives. This is your time to remember how it felt to create as a child—not with guilt or shame, but joy.

All talent does is make it easier for you to learn things.
You cannot increase or decrease talent, but you can increase your skill.

All feedback is not equal.
So how can you tell good feedback from bad? By learning to separate your creative EFFORTS from your creative WORTH.

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, when was the last time you actually enjoyed making art?
It’s time to relearn artistic freedom.

Creation takes courage. It is vulnerable. That's because what you create is for you, not anyone else.
Your art is valid, even if you don't make it public.
