This popular meme summed up the creative process in 6 steps:
1. This is awesome.You know it's true. In the past 2 weeks I find myself hanging out in the vicinity of steps 3 & 4 wondering if all the collagesI have made –which are so many more than these– were all flukes!
2. This is tricky.
3. This is crap.
4. I am crap.
5. This might be okay.
6. This is awesome.
That's just how projects go sometimes, and the best thing to do is go for a walk, soak in the tub, have a dog pile/tickle/cuddle extravaganza with my kids, sing Shake It Off karaoke style (go big or go home), and tell ridiculous jokes.
Here is the one I cooked up:
Q: Why did Cinderella's soccer coach bench her?
A: Because she is always late to the ball, and half the time she loses a shoe!
Here is one my daughter shared in the style of a knock-knock joke:
Her: Salmon!
Me in a stage whisper: What do you want me to say?
Her: Whoa!
Me: Whoa!
Her: Wait. I'm a salmon, not a horse!
So there you have it.
Now time to get back to work, because the main thing is just to keep showing up!
