The Secret To Creating

The creative process is a puzzle.

Focus on the one piece in your hand and put it down where it belongs.

If you can’t get one piece to fit, push it to the side.

You can always come back to it.

Don’t let one piece stop you from doing your work.

Don’t judge the work now.

The puzzle is not finished.

Keep working.

Find where the next piece fits.

Then do the same with another.

And another.

Be persistent.

Things will take shape.

The story will come together.

The song’s chorus will reveal itself to you.

Keep pushing forward, one piece at a time.

  1. It’s funny, my husband have been working all week on a 500-piece puzzle of a Beatle’s anthology cover artwork. We were just discussing this same concept last night. Well put, my friend. 😉
