Putting anything novel from your mind into the world is a success no matter what, it can’t be taken from you. If you’ve got ideas but feel like they aren’t translating when you go to create, keep doing it even if you think it’s not good or what you envisioned. From the stuff you don’t like, there might be something interesting to latch onto you can take in a new direction

Before you guys ask, yes I’ve been doing the morning pages from “The Artist’s Way” LOL
Real talk though, the structure of the book has been super helpful in structuring my own creative process, and one of the best possible things it’s done for me so far is to learn how to write and create, even when you’re “not in the mood” or you’re mentally blocked. On the days I can’t think of shit, I just start rambling about gossip and chairs and people watching (or whatever misc thing is on your mind) and all of a sudden a new project idea hit me out of some random association in my brain from years ago that I never touched til now
Anyway yeah, GO WRITE AND CREATE EVEN IF YOU DONT FEEL LIKE IT bc you’ll be surprised at what finds you!!!

General hell yeah to the previous recs. I mentioned The War of Art earlier today and it addresses specifically this question, if you feel reading a book would help.
I'm a creature of habit so having a routine is vital for me. An hour or two right after work is my create time everyday. I do my best to eliminate distraction by writing drafts out by hand or typing on my ipad mini + portable keyboard combo. And you need to get to a place where you can accept that unproductive create time is not wasted time. Staring into the middle distance is vital to the creative process.
Reduce friction so you can't make excuses to not create! That means keeping that camera on you AT ALL TIMES. Keep pen and paper on you AT ALL TIMES. Whatever you need for your project it needs to be with you or easily accessible otherwise you won't make space for it.
And feed your brain. Read, watch, listen, play, and experience as much as you can.

I have a pair of brown-tinted sunglasses I wear out most days. They're not too dark and I like their shape on my face, Recently, I've been on wearing them at night when I go for walks. It gives the world a warmer glow. Car headlights soften and glow like stars. Try it out some time, it makes everything a little prettier.
Have fun and be kind! xxx
