FW: Did you see this?
A few you might have missed
A quick round-up of posts from Cream of The Crop worth going back to.
Posts scroll past quickly, so I thought I'd pull ten together in one place. Nothing fancy. Just a handful that are worth another look if they slipped by first time round.
The one that kicked this whole thing off. Where I've come from, why I started writing here, and the pull between the life I've built and the one I keep being drawn towards.
2. Give yourself permission and you'll find the way
We wait to feel ready. Ready almost never turns up on time. This one's about getting out of your own way and just starting.
3. The turtle's approach: Slow & Steady
Progress doesn't always look like progress when you're in the middle of it. A small nod to the slow route, and why it's usually the one that actually works.
4. I caught hopesickness from creative legend, Mark Denton
About the lift you get from meeting people who are already living the way you'd like to be living. Sometimes you don't need a plan. You just need to catch a bit of what they've got.
5. DREI FRAGEN with Shagun Singh
One of the Drei Fragen interviews. Short, honest conversations with other artists about making work, doubt, identity, and the rest. Shagun's is a good one.
6. Creativity Unleashed with SLART and Dean Jackson
On taking your creative life a bit more seriously. Not in a grim way, in a "this deserves real time and energy" way.
A bit of a milestone. The moment something I'd been quietly working on went public. Worth a read if you missed the announcement.
8. Where the Dead Lie and Art Lives: Exploring the Crypt Gallery for the first time
The behind-the-scenes version of Memento Vivere. Nerves, excitement, the "oh god this is really happening" bit. Honest about all of it.
9. Screw it, let's do it (in 6 Days)
Scrappier than most. Sometimes you stop planning and just make the thing happen. This is what that looks like.
10. We Need The Artist's 4-Minute Mile
Less about me, more about what artists can do for each other. Breaking invisible ceilings. Showing other people what's possible.
If one of them catches you, let me know which. Always nice to hear.
