Lost in Translation

I wrote this this morning, because I’m tired of not being creative for various reasons. I firmly believe all of these to be true; this is me giving myself permission to live by them.

In no particular order:

• Creative work doesn’t have to spring fully-formed from my head.
• It doesn’t have to be perfect the first time.
• It doesn’t have to be perfect at all.
• Learning is as important as doing.
• What I did right is way more important than what I did wrong.
• Mine is the only judgment that counts.
• I can be creative in more than one way.
• Just because it’s been done before doesn’t mean I can’t do it again.
