Today’s creative inspiration comes from @lizgilbert.bsky.social: “Start in the middle and go both ways.”
Start the hard, messy thing and follow it wherever it will take you. Let inspiration lead the way. ✨

Turns out that every writer who’s ever said it’s important to write every day was right (imagine that! ). I’m learning that the practice of creativity is greater than the creation of any one thing, or anything at all.

"When you start working, everybody is in your studio——the past, your friends, enemies, the art world, and above all, your own ideas——are all there. But as you continue painting, they start leaving, one by one, and you are left completely alone. Then, if you're lucky, even you leave." —John Cage

There’s nothing quite like finally understanding how to revise a story you’ve been struggling with for ages.
The answer: change it so much it no longer resembles itself.
The result: absolute satisfaction.
