#RickRubin 's #TheCreativeAct but abt dieting:
"For a dieter struggling w/ eating ice cream before bed, I suggested a change in perspective.
Had they tried eating the dessert suspended upside down?
After two spoonfuls the dieter's cravings were gone. They've sworn off all desserts."

Reading through a new novel draft before sending it out, I'm struck by how many twists and turns surprised me as I wrote (even though I'm a plotter). This is what gets lost with AI--discovering/learning as you write. #freelanceeditor #author #theactofwriting #thecreativeact #writingcommunity

“…our imagination frees us from the web of personal and cultural stories engulfing us. Art has the power to snap us out of our transfixion, open our minds to what's possible, and reconnect with the eternal energy that moves through all things.”

The best book for creative journaling.
Read a chapter each morning. And then write about it. You’ll be surprised at the inspiration.

On the easel- 48" x 60" Having yet another attempt at completing this #beautiful #tiger #oilpainting. Been #stuck, creatively. Cannot complete around 16 paintings for the last 5-6 years. Any advice? #rickrubin #audiobook #thecreativeact is helping. Sounds like God speaking.

chapter on non competition open book page. It reads “Art is about the maker. Its aim: to be an expression of who we are. This makes competition absurd.” “Wanting to outperform another artist or make a work better than theirs rarely results in true greatness.” #artist
"Art is about the maker. It's aim: to be an expression of who we are. This makes competition absurd." #rickrubin #thecreativeact
I share this in case you needed to hear that comparing your work this way is a pointless venture. The moment you stop and focus on yourself, the sky's the limit #art 🖌️
“Awareness is not a state you force. There is little effort involved, though persistence is key. It’s something you actively allow to happen. It is a presence with, and acceptance of, what is happening in the eternal now.” #rickrubin #thecreativeact (one of my favorite books of all time)
“Do what you can with what you have. Nothing more is needed.”

Some philosophy if you will from the creative music maker himself. A must for those who are stuck in a rut.
