The Joy of Creating!
Sharing the load
Yesterday we looked at some of the emotional pain of being a creative person. Today I want to look at the joy!
Pain exists, but I don’t think it’s to be avoided instead it’s for pushing through to the joy that is on the other side. When I think of the joy of creating these ideas come to mind, you might have more.
How do you describe the joy or pleasure of creating?
Here’s some that I thought of:
The joy of a daily streak
The joy of self expression
The joy of connecting through art
The joy of creating artifacts
The joy of truly seeing
The joy of remembering
The joy of being inspired

Tomorrow is DAY 1 of our first Creative Sprint: Unstuck
For the next 5 Days, I’ll be sharing how I go from ‘stuck’ to making progress again in 5 steps, I’ll talk about how I got stuck in my journey as an illustrator and how I’m going to get unstuck and get to the next level.
I’m writing this as I work on my 15th book, which is very much a dream project, but you feel stuck even when you are doing your dream job. I hope showing you how I got unstuck in a vulnerable way, will inspire you to get unstuck too!
