One of the best things about writing everyday (or doing your creative thing everyday) is that you teach yourself the ability to do it in the face of all the emotional and situational highs and lows of day to day life.  You teach yourself to be able to fire up creativity regardless of the circumstances.   And that way when you’re in a creative pinch and you need something … you’ve come up with something when you’ve felt like this before.*
Gabe Anderson

If you’re not willing to risk the unusual, you’ll have to settle for the ordinary.**
Jim Rohn

There’s nothing quite like setting up a practice to
do what you must do,
A place to turn up, no matter what, and even with
your pain –
Everything that is happening is put to work in
service of something that matters to you;
It is an unusual practice because
it is yours, and no one else’s,
As such, it is an expression of your special world of
superpowers, values, and passions;
At first it feels unfamiliar and even unnecessary, but,
As you patiently shape it through the frustrations, it alchemises
into a place of transcendence and transformation.
