Studying value in painting taught me something about my writing. There had to be darkness as well as light in the characters in the story. Otherwise, no matter how pretty the colors, no matter how careful the composition, the overall effect would be flat. #fyp #wisewords #wisdom #wisewomen #multitalented #dailywisdom #artistsoftiktok #writersoftiktok #CreativesOfTikTok #ArtistLife #WritersLife #CreativeLife #CreativeLifestyle #writingcommunity #ArtisticInspiration #WritingInspiration #CreativeInspiration #ArtistCommunity #ArtistLifestyle #writingtips #Saturday #SaturdayMorning #CreativeAdvice #creativewriting #creativetiktok #interdisciplinary #interdisciplinaryartist #CreativityTip #CreativityTips #ArtistCommunity #CreativeCommunity

One of the biggest barriers to a fully-embraced creative life is the doubt about the value of the creative process voiced in devastating terms by our own inner voice. Thinking some outer success will silence that voice is a trap. Only the doing itself can provide an antidote, rendering doubts and self criticism anodyne. #i#impostorsyndromei#impostersyndromei#impostercomplexi#impostorcomplexb#beatingimpostersyndromea#artistlifew#writinglifeC#CreativeLifeC#CreativeHappyLifeC#CreativeLifestyleA#AdviceA#AdviceForArtistsA#AdviceForCreativesW#Wisdomw#wednesdaywisdomc#creativeselfc#creativelivingsolutionsi#innercriticm#mentalhealthf#freeyourfirem#metaphorforlife

This is the harsh reality of being an artist antwhere in any time. Getting paid for your work is important for artists, but the idea that you should be able to make a living from your art can be a trap. #fyp #art #culture #artandculture #wisewords #wisdom #wisewomen #DailyInspiration #dailywisdom #Creativity #Inspiration #artistsoftiktok #writersoftiktok #CreativesOfTikTok #ArtistLife #WritersLife #CreativeLife #CreativeHappyLife #CreativeLifestyle #ArtisticInspiration #WritingInspiration #CreativeInspiration #CreativeConsciousness #artistpay #artistwisdom #meaningful #meaningfulart #create #createmeaning #createbeauty #transformative #creativitymaster #creatortok #creatortiktok

I found a way past the massive problem of gathering my information and organizing it for a non-fiction book and that was to break it into small topics. I covered one topic a day and had my first draft in three months. I organized the topics into sections, but kept them as separate units and then I wrote an introduction for each section and voilà. I had a book for publication. ##nonfiction##writingnonfiction##writenonfiction##nonfictionwriters##wannabewriter##writingadvice##WritingTip##MyStory##MyCreativeJourney##HowIWrite ##writersoftiktok##lifetip##writertok##writer##writers##writes##writeradvice##howtowrite##howtowriteabook##mentor##writingmentor##storycraft##storycrafting##writingmethod##writingtok##booktok##tiktokpromote##tiktokpromotechallenge

Speaking as a former circus clown learn to walk a tight rope, I can tell you that writing isn’t all that different from wire walking. #fyp #writing #metaphor #wirewalking #tightrope #culture #artandculture #wisewords #wisdom #wisewomen #DailyInspiration #dailywisdom #Creativity #Inspiration #writersoftiktok #CreativesOfTikTok #ArtistLife #WritersLife #CreativeLife #CreativeHappyLife #CreativeLifestyle #ArtisticInspiration #WritingInspiration #writerwisdom #creativitymaster #tuesday #tuesdaymotivation #writes #writeradvice #howtowrite #howtowriteabook #mentor #writingmentor #storycraft #storycrafting #writingmethod #writingtok

If you’re a pantser like me, writing is risk-taking. You have a starting point for a story and you launch. Racing across the landscape. Making leaps when you come to a dead end. Hope you don’t fall flat on your face. #pantser #pantserwriter #plotstructure #plotquest #writerhabits #writingadvice #WritingTip #MyStory #MyCreativeJourney #HowIWrite #writersoftiktok #lifetip #writertok #writer #writers #writes #writeradvice #howtowrite #howtowriteabook #mentor #writingmentor #storycraft #storycrafting #tiktokpromote #tiktokpromotechallenge #parkour #mentalleaps #creatortok #creatortiktok #writingtok #booktok

Creativity in the arts is no different from the creativity of the living universe. Creativity is the response to stress, difficulty, uncertainty, and challenge. It prompts experimentation and change, because the status quo is unsatisfactory. The stressors in your life that you lament aren’t in the way of your creativity. They are the fuel of it. ##wisewords##wisdom##wisewomen##DailyInspiration##dailywisdom ##Creativity##Inspiration ##writersoftiktok##CreativesOfTikTok##ArtistLife##WritersLife##CreativeLife##CreativeHappyLife##CreativeLifestyle##ArtisticInspiration##WritingInspiration ##writerwisdom ##creativitymaster##stress##motivation##transformation##growth##growthtiktok

POVTORENIE MAT UCHENIYA” (repetition is the mother of learning). It’s one of those things that has both wisdom and is a trap. Learning that’s only by wrote can be stifling. But skills that can be applied to a create a task benefit from repetitive practice and mastery. #Aphorism #Sayings #Wisdom #RussianSayings #RussianAphorism #russianlanguage #Creativity #CreativityEveryDay #CreativityQuotes #creativityisintelligencehavingfun #Author #Writer #Painter #WritersOfInstagram #authorsoftiktok #WritersOfTikTok #CreativeTictok #WiseWoman #WiseWomen #ThoughtOfTheDay #ArtistCommunity #ArtistLifestyle #philosophy #CreativeConsciousness #advicequotes #quotes, #quotestoliveby #QuoteOfTheDay

The minute you try to build a presence on social media in order to accomplish a non-creative goal, you enter a very competitive arena that has nothing to do with your artistic abilities yet requires you engage and drain your creativity. Unless you’re a duck with a natural ability to float in that environment, you along with your artistic output, will sink into the deep end of frustration and feelings of failure. ##SocialMedia##Artist##artistonsocialmedias##artistsoftiktok##artistsonline##socialmediaforartists##SocialMediaForCreative##socialmediaplatforms##SocialMediaPlatform##buildingmyplatform##creativecoaching##artistlifestyle##writertok##writersoftiktok##writing##authortok##AuthorTalk##SelfPromotion##writercommunity##Writingcommunity##creative##creativecommunity

There is a “golden rule” of flow it seems. The secret is to be trying to do something that’s just beyond your skill set. Reaching for something takes you out of yourself, and brings all your focus onto the thing you’re reaching for. So if you’re finding a task, tedious and empty of flow, throw something into the mix that makes it a challenge, a challenge you are not sure you can meet, and then go for it. ##flow##goldenrules##findingflow##achievingflow##effort##effortless##creative##Creativity##CreativityEveryDay##creativitymaster##creativityisintelligencehavingfun##Author##Writer##Painter##writersoftiktok ##authorsoftiktok ##WiseWoman##WiseWomen##ThoughtOfTheDay##ArtistCommunity##ArtistLifestyle##philosophy##CreativeConsciousness
