I got a few messages asking for advice on writing/creativity-inspiring and the industry of media – as much as I would love to reply to everything my lifestyle has been quite busy these past few months and answering every question would take me a lot more than a couple of hours. Which is why I wanted to write this post, hopefully this will help.
1. Everything you do is an art form – use it as a vice for your creativity, let your ideas flow and select them with your mind. Don’t follow other people, think about how many ways of capturing ideas you can possibly think – let everything around you inspire you, take in the energy around you.
If you’re angry – create with anger, If you’re sad create with emotion and if you’re happy – use this to your advantage.
Follow beauty, life, even dreams.
2. If you’re starting out – remember the golden rule is to practice, practice will always make perfect and the most important thing is not to stop, because people that stay in one place will stagnate, like water. If you keep going, you will eventually reach the sea.
3. Have realistic goals. Don’t try to be the next european idol(right away), it’s not going to happen. It has taken years for the top personalities to get where they are and a lot of hard work and effort. Believe me, sticking to realistic ideas is the best way to progress.
4. Don’t be put off by criticism. Encourage to be criticized but only if it’s constructive, you need to know what you’re doing right and wrong. The best way to do this is have opinions from people that know what they are talking about.
5. Be inspired, read, write, watch movies, visit a museum, gallery, go to a comedy show, fashion show, anything at all. This will generate exciting concepts!
6. If you have an idea, do it. No excuses!
