Reality check: your voice is important. Especially when the world is on fire. Feeling stuck creatively is natural, but here's the thing:
Weird is the word
Someone needs to hear your story. Someone needs to know they are not alone. Someone needs to know they’re going to be ok, and your voice and your story will help. Your unique way of seeing the world will
help.
Truth is the thing
That thing you’ve been putting off? The story, song, or art that is too weird, or too loud, or too vulnerable?
That’s what we need right now. That’s what will be powerful for your audience, and for you.
Bigger is not better
Another lie productivity culture tells us? Go big or go
home. If we don’t win it all, if we don’t succeed on a
grand scale, then what’s the point?
But big and splashy means nothing if we don’t reach the people who need to hear us. Bigger is not better if we have to compromise ourself to get there.
So let's think about these questions:
What makes you you?
How are you different?
What won’t you compromise?
What makes your art powerful?
What are the unique and strange things about your work? About you?
Who would benefit from seeing that unique and strange work?
How is your art an act of resistance to the tyranny of today?
Once you think about these questions, return to the 6 key questions and see whats changed!
