Creativity seems to be seen as some intangible thing that some people have, and others don’t. Genetic, finite, something that is born, not made. I’ve had many friends tell me “I’m not creative like that”, and been compelled to shoot sparks out of my nose and drone in monotone “DOES NOT COMPUTE“. The difference between you, the “not-creative” and people who seem to always have something new springing forth from them? They do their thing. It might be painful, especially at first. It might be frustrating. You might throw out the first 20 things you make, hate them, hate yourself, and curse the day anybody encouraged you to try.

But at least you’re starting.
