Important to learn what you do and don’t like. If you have the luxury of creating work that isn’t your usual style/medium, do it do it do it! You will learn more, and you don’t have to share it remember!

It's way too easy to over-write, over-paint, over-create. Just because it felt easy doesn't mean that it's bad. In fact, that zen feeling of inspiration *should* feel effortless. Don't let your work ethic ruin something good.
At the very least, step back before you do more. If it needs more work, you'll know the next time you look at it.

When I say “work,” I don’t mean your job. I mean spiritual or artistic work whatever that may be. Whole lotta folx wanna be artists and I don’t disapprove of that. It’s good people want to be “creative” even though it’s painful and most ideas are bad. If you have the desire to be “creative” (and maybe one day, featured in this very newsletter alongside these contemporary luminaries) you must do your work every day. If you do it every day, eventually you’ll have something resembling a body of work and maybe even mastery of a craft.

you gotta work on something everyday. even if you don’t think you’ll ever reveal it to the public. even if it’s not in the medium you typically work in (if you paint, do a pencil drawing or write a poem…if you sculpt try making an abstract pastel drawing…if you write essays try writing a song…so on and so forth). even if it’s !not good! that’s fine. even if you work on a little bit each day that’s okay. you’re still stimulating your brain and when the block is over your mind with be warmed up and ready. this is def something i’ve struggled with recently but making an effort to keep myself active creatively has helped a ton.
