The ideas stick, they have kind of inspired me to maybe write or make something myself. but although starting to create has never been more simple to pick up and available for the masses, I somehow still find it more intimidating. I feel like that mostly because the bar to make something "great" just gets higher and higher and I personally can't really think of where my place is among the incredible work that I consume from various creators.
Everyone has to start somewhere but with so much going on with university and other things at the moment, the time to try is always "after i turn in my papers"
One of the "finish what you start" things that I haven't completed yet (it has been pushed to the side after 70% completion for over a year now due to not being perfect...) is some kind of a "poetry" book that I'm making with some friends. Should probably be a good place to start. It may not be for the public but it's good write again even if just for practice.
Great end of year blog, took me a while to finish reading (you told me it's long form content and that is true although I'd love more time to spare...)
Somehow so many of the things you mentioned, along with "finishing what you start" just reminded me how many things i have started this year and didn't finish yet.
Johnatan - appreciate the note! And yup, whether you're sitting down and reading for thirty minutes as soon as this drops, or coming back and checking out piece by piece over time...both routes are more than valid.
My main goal when writing is that at least one idea sticks. Glad to hear that was the case here.
p.s. can't wait to share the next mag soon enough :)

if you're looking for a fresh dose of inspiration, you should read today's blog (just shared!)
coincidentally, all about a poet and author
