GET STARTED: Embracing Imperfection
& the importance of being bad at things.
Beginnings are HARD
We all know the feeling: the blinking cursor, the blank page or canvas, the silent instrument. Writer’s Block – or however you want to call it – strikes. That feeling of a silent, invisible majority watching you and judging everything that you do.
And because you’re you, you want it to be perfect.
Take me, for example. I’m starting this blog, building an app, and starting an online coaching business. I don’t really have any idea what I’m doing. I’m supposed to convince you, a stranger, that not only am I an expert in creativity, but that you should listen to me. Pressure!
I’m sitting here, eking out this first post, using my tools to ignore my inner critic and post something. But the real truth here, behind the judgement, is that I’m excited to talk about this stuff. I love talking about it with people and helping people. And this brings me to –
Why this, why now?
I’m creating this space for a couple of reasons:
- I love to write
- I want to broaden my reach for all things Art Badly
I’m doing it now because I can’t do it yesterday, and I don’t see any good reasons why putting it off any longer is going to help anybody, least of all, me. Speaking of which, just who am I trying to help?
Calling All Creative Types!
Art Badly’s approach is designed to work for all creative types – whether you are a musician, visual artist, author, filmmaker, choreographer, sculptor, etc., ALL creative types are welcome here.
Our chosen artistic medium defines our creative language, but our shared desire to express ourselves defines our commonality.
In a world where you’re pressured to be perfect all of the time, I want you to fail.
Why should I care?
You should care if:
- You’ve ever tried to create anything and struggled
- You want to get better at creating things
If you’ve never struggled at anything or you don’t want to get better at anything, then best of luck to you. For everyone else, Hi.
