Why create when times are tough?
Because we need to.
Because we want to.
Because it's who we are.
Sing your songs.
Write your stories.
Make your art.
In the dark times, we need some noise.

Fear and doubt will join you on any creative journey.
They never really leave.
The trick to controlling them?
Elizabeth Gilbert said it best:
You never, ever let them in the driving seat.

Now go make something beautiful.

You don't need permission to create.
A good idea will always find a way.
Keep looking. Keep trying.
Even now.
ESPECIALLY now.
And if I can help: I'm here!
