Big Magic

There are some affirming ideas in this book.

“The outcome cannot matter.... You will keep making your work, regardless of the outcome. You will keep sharing your work, regardless of the outcome. You were born to create, regardless of the outcome. You will never lose trust in the creative process, even when you don't understand the outcome.”

“Not expressing creativity will drive people crazy.”

“Done is better than good.”

“When it's for love, you'll do it anyhow.”

“Since when did creativity become a suffering contest?”

“What would you do even if you might fail?”

“You are worthy ... regardless of the outcome.”

When you have writer's block, be like Tristram Shandy and get dressed up.
“Dress for the novel you want to write.”
