This written article (above) is SO FABULOUS! 

It’s enlightening a way of routine creativity that is mature and honest! THANK GOODNNESS! A common assumption of creativity production is that it is sporadic, spontaneous & wildly uncontrolled; this is NOT true in many cases. (In the case of Van Gogh & his manic ear cutting ways, yes it may have been wild.)
I have often considered the thought that it may even be this ‘bohemian like manner’ of working that stops creativity dead in its tracks, replacing it with intimidation! Realising that creativity can be controlled & planned to progress productivity in seemingly routine ways should be shouted from the rooftops! There is a definite point where an idea you were once kept from sleeping for the excitement of its possibilities may change, due to a creativity block or visual discernment, to something you dread paying any attention to. The method of organising into manageable movements is a great way to get psyched by the project again & to feel like you are acting towards its completion. Feeling that you are productive regains confidence & faith; it re-boosts you with the brilliant idea you had at first! YES! A mantra I always try to tell myself when I am lacking in creative faith is to ‘Just Do’! Take away the conceptual depth, reconnect with what you want to do & DO IT. Thought is a good thing to stop & contemplate; too much thinking during moments of making & it easily turns to doing that thing that’s completely unrelated (we all have our guilty indulges).  Taking the contemplation process as a time for itself after a period of ‘doing’ is a good way to gain more value & less procrastinating! Another way to run with this mantra is even if you have no initial idea but are propelled by an impending need to create, then don’t think until after, ‘JUST DO’, the outcome may be a MASTERPIECE that the world must see, or a bit of a confusion but you will have done it, & that will take you further!

So yes, take this routine organisational movement & go forth!

I'LL GIVE IT MORE THAN A WHIRL!
