Today was an extremely creative day. I drew so much, produced so much, in ways that I haven’t for years. The craziest thing is that I was also exceedingly good at my chess game as well. So it felt like something went off in my head.
A part of me is thinking: How can I recreate a day like this again? All the productivity gurus living inside me are asking me to write out today’s schedule and to follow it as strictly as possible, just so that we could make a repeat happen.
But I know that the truth behind it is purely that today was a really blessed day of creativity. God gave me abundant willpower to keep drawing, even if I was doing nothing. There was great joy behind it, and I was just happy to make. It was great also to have people support and encourage me almost immediately. I shared my work with Mark and Clarice and they both thought it was good.
I can’t wait to make it happen for real, to print, to publish.
I might do some sneak peeks here, but I’m really thinking of the creative process.
Perhaps today’s main learning point was embracing the pure idea of making, even if I didn’t know what was going to come out of it. At least something would happen, and at least there was something to show for my ideas. On top of that, I also did not keep to my phone, as much as I could. It was good.
I need to learn how to give myself space to produce even when I’m moving around. It helps to be able to think on the go, or to make things happen whenever. I think I end up playing games, or being just very trivial when I’m moving, and I could afford to make a lot more. I wonder how.
In any case, there will definitely be a consistent flow of youtube videos for this month at least. I need to cut some of them down for size, but I think I have a much better idea in my head how to approach video and the graphic design elements together.
I really am starting to appreciate my own brain a lot more, and I’m really learning how to play to my creative strengths. I should have done this way earlier!
But today’s a great day to learn how to start. And I shall take the win, Thank God for blessing me with a really great day.
