4.5 Thoughts: Pursuing Creative Projects, Writing and Courage
Your weekly dose of inspiration for creative projects
Hello hello!
This weekend I started going through a breakup, so writing has been a struggle. But I have been working on a longer piece that I’m excited to share with you next week. It’s about “How to Not Compare Yourself to Other People”.
In the meantime, here are some inspiring quotes about pursuing your creative projects.
Lots of love,

2 Thoughts from Me
“When people ask me about my writing routine, they’re surprised when I tell them I don’t have one. I have an almost ungovernable personality. Any time I tell myself to do something, I immediately don’t want to do it. So, I don’t tell myself to write. I focus on the reason why I want to write. I write because I love being in flow.”
"To finish the draft of my novel, I had one rule: I had to edit the manuscript every day. It didn’t matter if some days I only edited one word. On other days, I might edit four pages, or even 5,000 words. I was working a full-time job but by March 1st 2022, only two and a half months later, the draft was done.”

If I had more courage, the creative project I would work on is my finally publishing my photography portfolio. Thanks for reminding me I need to keep strengthening my creative confidence on the work I do.
If I had more courage, I would adopt your rule of editing my manuscript every day. Thanks for the reminder that I can find the courage to do just that!
