Find What to Say By Starting

One of the beautiful things about writing these posts (almost) every day is that I’m discovering what I want to say as an artist. It’s not as if I already have something to say and am writing to communicate it… it’s that the act of confronting a blank page (or screen) is helping me develop something to say.

I find it’s important to remind myself that I don’t need to reach some unspecified level of brilliance in order to create something of quality. The simple act of sitting down and getting my thoughts out of my head is the best first step towards creating something meaningful.

I don’t need a particular voice or a clever take in order to start writing… I just have to start.
