Let it be Different

Reflection

• I started to draft a post for this month on August 3rd.

• I’ve drafted more versions of this post than the new scene in my book.

• My self-imposed rule to write a monthly update on my creative process is causing me stress and anxiety to the point I’m spending more time and energy on this post than the creative project I’m trying to share about.

• Something’s gotta change.

Let it be slow.
Let it be messy.
Let it be different.

Peek into the Studio

Prime the Pump. Lately, on days that I work at my day job, my process has been to do a small amount of creative prep: brainstorming, sketching, reading, ideating. And then, at the start of my creative work week, I let everything that’s been simmering come together. Well, that’s the plan at least.

Progress on my 100-day project. I’ve been drawing daily(-ish) to prepare my skills for when I’m ready to start drawing my graphic novel.
