And now for something completely different. Random, abstract–today’s #crappydoodle.
What’s a crappy doodle? It’s when you truly jump in the #creativesandbox and LET IT BE CRAPPY.
Because the biggest barrier to most creators is simply not letting ourselves make crap! In other words: perfectionist paralysis.
Remember: we need the crap to fertilize the good stuff!
Besides, just because you ALLOW yourself to create crap doesn’t mean you will; it just means you’ll create!
In my book, The Creative Sandbox Way, in the chapter on Guidepost #4, “Think Tiny & Daily,” I include spaces to make a “crappy doodle” every day for a week.
Why?
Because when the bar is set so low, it gets you to actually DO IT!
Setting a goal to make an *amazing* doodle, or even a *good* doodle, can be paralyzing. But a crappy doodle? Heck, ANYONE can do that!
And once you do it, you can immerse yourself in the business of *enjoying* it. You might even discover that you like what emerges (but don’t worry about that–the outcome is secondary. If you take care of the quantity, the quality will take care of itself over time. ?) Will you create something crappy today?
