Kindle Notes & Highlights
The truth is, you didn't choose the creative life. Admit it, there have been days when you wish you could just push the pixels aside, pass the pencil to someone else and do something worthwhile, like maybe construction or sales.
Nirvana for a Creative is to create exactly what she means to, exactly when she means to. When you can do that, you won't suck.

Kids are idea geniuses because there are no limitations to their imaginations.

Sometimes you have to get creative to get creative. Everything counts, even drawing in the sand.
The realization that most people don’t care about your work might just be the most freeing thing that ever happens to you.
