—Confucius
“Creativity itself doesn't care at all about results - the only thing it craves is the process. Learn to love the process and let whatever happens next happen, without fussing too much about it. Work like a monk, or a mule, or some other representative metaphor for diligence. Love the work. Destiny will do what it wants with you, regardless.”
—Elizabeth Gilbert
“Do you want to know what you are? You are a creator. At every moment you are creating. The real question is, what are you creating?”

Keep Writing, Keep Creating
With all the conversations going on over the past few days in the Dreamling fandom - I think a lot of people could be feeling stalled on their writing/art in one way or another on stuff they might have had in progress.
This is your nudge.
(Cause I'm feeling it, too.)
Take a deep breath and keep writing.
Take a deep breath and keep drawing.
Take a deep breath and keep creating those metas, making those gifsets, designing those moodboards, making memes, you name it.
You can keep something in mind - and be aware of it - and not address it in your current project. That's okay. Allow people to be critical of characters, of the show, in their own spaces, and focus on your own works and projects. You don't need to engage, and in fact, it's better if you don't.
(If you want some great reads on the topics over the past few days - please check out @seiya-starsniper and their blog. ALSO, their writing is AMAZING, so after you've done that, please go devour their entire Ao3, you can thank me later.)
Keep writing, keep creating, and keep trucking on, darlings. The fandom world will always keep spinning.
So guess who just binge-watched #Stevembomb AND both seasons of Gravity Falls....
Yeah, it was pretty emotional and heavy and draining. BUT ALSO... it pumped me up. Ayone who knows these shows and their creators know just how much of a passion Project they are. They come from a place of sincerity, of just wanting to get that story out of your chest. The need to créate something of worth. Everyone Works so hard and you can tell, no one is just half assing it. They love their show as much as we do, and that is something I aspire to do. To be able to tell a story, to be part of something that can inspire people into creating, and that makes me happy inside. It's not about the money or the fame, but knowing you meant something in someone's life, and knowing that it all came from your own passion... That must feel great. I guess I just wanted to thank Alex Hirsch and Rebecca Sugar, and all of the wonderful people who's hard work and dedication has inspired so many people. Including me... Man this is a lengthy ass post... and I'm writing it in my underwear. Food for thought.

Life is too short.
Don’t let anyone keep you from your dreams.
“The graveyard is the richest place on earth, because it is here that you will find all the hopes and dreams that were never fulfilled, the books that were never written, the songs that were never sung, the inventions that were never shared, the cures that were never discovered, all because someone was too afraid to take that first step, keep with the problem, or determined to carry out their dream.” – Les Brown
