do it

creativity is like a muscle. to become stronger/ better at being creative you have to work at it. the words, lines pages you write are like reps in the gym. each one helping you hone your craft.
beckham didn't become golden balls just by being born gifted he became a world class player by working his golden balls off. arnie's muscles might have been the product of good genetics - but he sweated in the gym to hone them into olympian perfection.

it is all about the work you do.
it is all about the practice you do.

if you want to be a guitarist - do scales.
you want to be a photographer - take pictures.
you want to be a painter - then put brush to canvas.
don't think about doing it.
do it.

only through doing it will you improve.
you improve from making mistakes. you improve from learning where you went wrong.

so practice, practice, practice.
it may not make you perfect. it will help you become much better than you are right now.

so whatever it is you want to do. stop reading this and go and do it. do it once. do it twice and do it again. you'll see you are getting better. oh and don't think it is going to be easy, because it isn't. if it was we would all be creative giants.

get on with it then.
