7 Steps You Need To Take To Become A More Impactful Creator

Iwill be the first one to say, art and creation are hard work. It is the painstaking act of bringing forth into the world that which was already there, but in a new form that will somehow change the heart and mind of the one experiencing it. <blockquote> “The world is but a canvas to our imagination.” — Henry David Thoreau </blockquote> It’s difficult, it’s ground-breaking, and no one’s ever really sure of how exactly to do it. In just about every case, what you’re creating, no matter its format has never been done before — or at least it’s a new way of doing something that has never been done before. So how do you make better art? <h1>#1: Don’t be afraid of making bad art</h1> If you know anything about the Enneagram, you know that the Type 1 on that personality system is the “perfectionist”. A Type 1 is plagued by rules, striving for perfection, and doing things the way they’re supposed to be done. This makes me a really bad artist from time to time. Not because the art I create is inherently bad, but because I’m always holding back out of fear of doing something wrong — trapped by perfectionistic tendencies and the belief that if I can’t get something just right, it isn’t worth trying at all. <a href="https://katieelawrence.medium.com/7-steps-you-need-to-take-to-become-a-more-impactful-creator-330ea63dd28e">Website</a>
