There’s no one perfect state or process to deliver an idea or execute a concept.
Only being able to create while sad or upset. Or happy. Or only during the day or night. Only being able to work in a tidy or chaotic studio. Only when it comes easy and inspired, only when it’s a grind. Only when at my absolute best, most healthy, or most wild.
The truth is, we don’t really need any of these states to make our work.
Each moment of making is different. There’s no one perfect state or process to deliver an idea or execute a concept.
We as creatives are multifaceted, dynamic people. It’s just how we roll. So the next time something is not going how I think it should, I’m just going to try to accept that as my process for the day (not for life). I will do, and make do. And go with it.
That’s my Creative Call to Action for you:
Accept that your process is in process.
Accept that you may have multiple ways of getting to the same place. And enjoy the ride.
Are you attached to a certain process or state of mind for creating your work? Do you hold certain beliefs about when you can create and how it should feel?
