Creativity Uplift

Creating is hard enough. Artist to then go and sell their work at art market and flea market venues are doing a heroic amount of work. I spent one day today and I am wiped out. #artmarket #sellingart #sellingartwork #Artist #art #artist #artistsoftiktok #businessofart #myartistlife #artistlife #artistontiktok #creativityandmarketing #sellyourart #artspace

Flowers first! This is the reminder the trees give me every spring when they bloom. Bloom because you can. Don’t worry about trying to justify it, to deserve it, blooming is in you as it’s in the trees. Flowers first! Take the gift the trees teach every spring when they bloom. Bloom because you can.

Writing female fools, tricksters, and agents of chaos has helped me reconnect with my inner nature, a nature I denied for much of my life in order to fit in. #fool #female #chaos #trickster #goddess #hero #heroine #clown #muse #storyteller #author #writer #story #storytelling #character #writing #writer #writinglife #creative #creativewriter #writerlife #writersoftiktok #strongfemalecharacter #fem...

If you imagine your creativity, as living in the depths of the lake of your consciousness, the surface needs to be there is still an order to see it, and access it clearly. #fyp #reading #booktok #wisewords #wisdom #wisewomen #DailyInspiration #dailywisdom #Creativity #Inspiration #artistsoftiktok #writersoftiktok #CreativesOfTikTok #ArtistLife #WritersLife #CreativeLife #CreativeHappyLife #Creati...

The essence of creativity is the desire to play with the boundaries, the edges, the places where, what is supposedly true or good meets the opposite ideas of falsehood and wrongness. It is not so much aiming to transgress as challenging the definition of transgression because sometimes what is demonized are outmoded blocks to society’s whole-hearted life and growth. Not that society will thank art...

I’m a “pantser” not a plotter when it comes to writing stories. I have an idea and I launch into the telling and see where it takes me. It isn’t complete anarchy though. You wouldn’t head out into the wilderness without a compass and you shouldn’t head out into a story without a question that needs answering to guide you. #pantser #pantserwriter #plotstructure #plotquest #writerhabits #writingadvi...

Since Aristotle came up with his rules for dramatic action, plays and then movies were understood to succeed or fail, based on how they followed it. Scripts were judged on how well they built the tension to the single, big climax, and then the dénouement, or as I call it, the satisfied cigarette. The relationship of this structure to the “dramatic action” of sex is pretty obvious. #Wr#Writingr#Dra...

Creativity is by its nature messy. It puts at bit of chaos into everything it touches. Society is how humans guard against chaos, so there is a conflict between a society and the living culture within it. #art #wisdom #wednesdaywisdom #Artist #Writer #Creator #Creative #Creativity #artistsoftiktok #writersoftiktok #CreativesOfTikTok #ArtistLife #WritersLife #CreativeLife #CreativeHappyLife #creati...

How do I come up with story ideas? Usually I think of phase and go: that’s a title for something. Good titles are invocations, tickets for your imagination to take a ride. The rest is “pantsing.” #Writing #WritingIdeas #StoryIdeas #HowIWrite #WritingProcess #MyWritingProcess #pantser #MyProcess #Writinglife #creativeprocess #Imagination #FYP #WritingCoach #womenwriters #WomanWriter, #WomenWritersO...

It helps to think of creativity as a dance. Some dancers have very precise steps, and some are simply surrendering to the beat and flow of melody. There isn’t one right right a dance, and there isn’t one right way to be creative. #Creativity #fyp #Inspiration #MultiTalented #wisewords #wisdom #wisewomen #Painting #Writing #artistsoftiktok #writersoftiktok #creativesoftiktok #ArtistLife #WritersLif...

I came up with the phrase “claw machine of life” when I was trying to explain to somebody about being an artist, and putting my work out in the world. My friend laughed and kind of got it, the frustration with the lack of total control, but also the enticement of the prize is waiting. If you could just have a little bit of luck, and so I thought I would share it. #fyp #philosophy #philosophytiktok...

Instead of chasing rainbows, celebrate all the ways in which you are full of light and color and become the rainbow.

Artists, remember that you are an agent of culture, not a functionary of the social order. Your job is to create beauty, create meaning, create transformative experience.
