The Problem With Being Creative Is That You Start To Feel Very Guilty When You Havent Created Anything

the problem with being creative is that you start to feel very guilty when you haven’t created anything in a while

THE SECRET GARDEN (1993) dir. Agnieszka Holland + autumn colors (requested by anonymous)

My amazing friend and incredible poet of a person wrote these heartbreaking words, and as soon as I read it, I immediately asked if I could illustrate it. And she said yes!

Read "To the Bitter End" here on AO3. Please please go give her some love (I generally don't even like poetry that much, but she is slowly changing my mind XD)

I'm also working on a second part to this, but I've had to slow down work on that one. It's coming soon!

also, tagging @frodo-with-glasses bc meg commanded it

One of the best writing advice I have gotten in all the months I have been writing is "if you can't go anywhere from a sentence, the problem isn't in you, it's in the last sentence." and I'm mad because it works so well and barely anyone talks about it. If you're stuck at a line, go back. Backspace those last two lines and write it from another angle or take it to some other route. You're stuck because you thought up to that exact sentence and nothing after that. Well, delete that sentence, make your brain think because the dead end is gone. It has worked wonders for me for so long it's unreal

here’s your sign to do something spontaneous

It’s not autumn until you bring out the family trebuchet.
