Craft and creative practice are about getting comfortable with not being able to see the clear next step, and instinctively feeling your way toward it. #writerslife #artistlife #musicianlife #creativelife #introvertmarketing #empowercreatives #creativegrowth #indieauthorsupport #creativeconnections

Authentic creation happens when you don’t know (or can’t envision) what happens next. #writerslife #artistlife #musicianlife #creativelife #introvertmarketing #empowercreatives #creativegrowth #indieauthorsupport #creativeconnections

Creativity helps you build faith in yourself, by showing you you will figure any problem out regardless of how limited the information or impossible the situation appears. #writerslife #artistlife #musicianlife #creativelife #introvertmarketing #empowercreatives #creativegrowth #indieauthorsupport

Follow your creative intuition to the unique solution of new and better ways for your creative brain. #writerslife #artistlife #musicianlife #creativelife #introvertmarketing #empowercreatives #creativegrowth #indieauthorsupport #creativeconnections

By accepting creatives are wired differently it empowers us to run our businesses and lives differently than what has been pushed through mainstream channels. #writerslife #artistlife #creativelife #introvertmarketing #empowercreatives #creativegrowth #indieauthorsupport #creativeconnections

You have a creative superpower, which may have felt like a curse in the past, but you can learn how to wield it and eventually celebrate it. #writerslife #artistlife #musicianlife #creativelife #introvertmarketing #empowercreatives #creativegrowth #indieauthorsupport #creativeconnections

You are creative and possibly neuro divergent. You can see, feel, hear, and connect things others cannot. #writerslife #artistlife #musicianlife #creativelife #introvertmarketing #empowercreatives #creativegrowth #indieauthorsupport #creativeconnections

Your brain is not broken. You are not lazy.  #writerslife #artistlife #musicianlife #creativelife #introvertmarketing #empowercreatives #creativegrowth #indieauthorsupport #creativeconnections

If you grew up being told the way your brain works was faulty and were conditioned to believe you were lazy because you couldn’t complete things the way other kids did, it’s society that is/was broken—not you. 

Many creatives have deeply internalized the misbelief that something is wrong with us because we can’t sustain the socially accepted ways of “appropriate” and celebrated behaviors. #writerslife #creativelife #introvertmarketing #empowercreatives #creativegrowth #creativeconnections

Non-creatives view “doing nothing” as being non-productive; we know “doing nothing” is processing time for an idea, and that giving an idea space to germinate is just as important as the time we spend physically creating. #writerslife #artistlife #creativelife #creativegrowth #creativeconnections

Neuro-typical brains love to celebrate our creations, but they don’t understand a creative brain’s needs. They try to force us into methodologies and routines that make sense to them, but so much of what we do as part of our creative process will never make sense to them. #writerslife #creativelife 

The very traits society can vilify creatives for, are the same traits that make us creative geniuses. #writerslife #artistlife #musicianlife #creativelife #introvertmarketing #empowercreatives #creativegrowth #indieauthorsupport #creativeconnections

Creativity is a key strength of Introverts, HSPs, and people diagnosed with ADHD. All three of these groups face stigma around their biological and emotional needs. #writerslife #artistlife #musicianlife #creativelife #introvertmarketing #empowercreatives #creativegrowth #indieauthorsupport 

Creatives route more energy to the creative processing centers of our brain. This also means we have less energy for things lauded in neuro-typical businesses and lives. #writerslife #artistlife #musicianlife #creativelife #introvertmarketing #empowercreatives #creativegrowth #creativeconnections

Creatives feel to a greater depth, observe with a keener eye, and make connections in ways most people can’t fathom. #writerslife #artistlife #musicianlife #creativelife #introvertmarketing #empowercreatives #creativegrowth #indieauthorsupport #creativeconnections

Creative brains process information at a deeper level, faster rates of speed, and with an intensity of feeling most neuro-typical people cannot understand. #writerslife #artistlife #creativelife #introvertmarketing #empowercreatives #creativegrowth #indieauthorsupport #creativeconnections

If you want to create the things no one else can, you can’t be wired like everybody else. And creative brains are not wired like neuro-typical brains. #writerslife #artistlife #musicianlife #creativelife #introvertmarketing #empowercreatives #creativegrowth #indieauthorsupport #creativeconnections

It's time to lean into the Unknown, embrace the adventures a creative life demands and to let go of preconceived notions about your limitations, timelines, and potential. #writerslife #artistlife #musicianlife #creativelife #empowercreatives #creativegrowth #indieauthorsupport #creativeconnections

It's time to double down on your creative instincts and take control of your creative career. #writerslife #artistlife #musicianlife #creativelife #introvertmarketing #empowercreatives #creativegrowth #indieauthorsupport #creativeconnections

Creatives often think others hold the answer to the “right way forward” for their creative career and willingly offload their creative power to others. #writerslife #artistlife #musicianlife #creativelife #introvertmarketing #empowercreatives #creativegrowth #indieauthorsupport #creativeconnections

It's normal to have moments of paralysis due to information overload and an inability to discern the best path forward for yourself. #writerslife #artistlife #musicianlife #creativelife #introvertmarketing #empowercreatives #creativegrowth #indieauthorsupport #creativeconnections

It's normal to feel overwhelm at the thought of all you want to accomplish and all you have been told you "should" do. #writerslife #artistlife #musicianlife #creativelife #introvertmarketing #empowercreatives #creativegrowth #indieauthorsupport #creativeconnections

Are you standing at the cusp of the creative life they’ve always wanted, but scared to continue forward? Conditioned misbeliefs may be holding you back, keeping you in starving artist mode. #writerslife #artistlife #musicianlife #creativelife #empowercreatives #creativegrowth #creativeconnections

Learning to follow creative energy is all about joining hands with your inner power and letting go of the fears that have been holding you back. #writerslife #artistlife #musicianlife #creativelife #introvertmarketing #empowercreatives #creativegrowth #indieauthorsupport #creativeconnections

What if you stopped doubting yourself and started listening to what your creative instincts are telling you? #writerslife #artistlife #musicianlife #creativelife #introvertmarketing #empowercreatives #creativegrowth #indieauthorsupport #creativeconnections

You have already felt creative energy at work in your life. Instinctually you know the creative spark, you have battled the unrelenting need to give your art form, and may dream of building a life that allows you to share your work with the public on a large scale. #empowercreatives

Creatives are all individuals with a high rate of idea-phoria who feel compelled to act on their creative instinct and share their work with the world. #writerslife #artistlife #musicianlife #creativelife #introvertmarketing #empowercreatives #creativegrowth #indieauthorsupport #creativeconnections

When the people in your support system succeed, you know you are in alignment with the right people. #writerslife #artistlife #musicianlife #creativelife #introvertmarketing #empowercreatives #creativegrowth #indieauthorsupport #creativeconnections

Acting alone allows you to fully step into yourr power. As a result, you find confidence. #writerslife #artistlife #musicianlife #creativelife #introvertmarketing #empowercreatives #creativegrowth #indieauthorsupport #creativeconnections

It takes time to find and fully step into your authentic creative career, because you have to shed the roles you played for other people’s benefit. #writerslife #artistlife #musicianlife #creativelife #introvertmarketing #empowercreatives #creativegrowth #indieauthorsupport #creativeconnections

Your authentic creative career-path will not be like anyone else's. #writerslife #artistlife #musicianlife #creativelife #introvertmarketing #empowercreatives #creativegrowth #indieauthorsupport #creativeconnections

Both support and criticism are markers of success. #writerslife #artistlife #musicianlife #creativelife #introvertmarketing #empowercreatives #creativegrowth #indieauthorsupport #creativeconnections

When you operate from the power of true authenticity you become a magnet—attracting some people and experiences while repelling others. When you have raving fans and vehement critics, it is an indicator you've presented something truly authentic #empowercreatives #indieauthorsupport 

It is your responsibility to understand what is going on with your business; it is your business partner’s (agent, manager, accountant, etc.) job to simplify, demystify, and explain their area of expertise. #writerslife #creativelife #empowercreatives #creativegrowth #indieauthorsupport 

You make the most impact by creating. Business partners i.e. agents, accountants, managers, etc. help you spend more time in creation mode and handle the details of peripheral aspects of your creative business. #writerslife #creativelife #introvertmarketing #empowercreatives #creativegrowth 

We can never be objective about our own work. Your job is to create. It is your trusted support system’s responsibility to tell you there is something worth exploring when your feelings have highjacked your objectivity. #writerslife #creativelife #introvertmarketing #empowercreatives #creativegrowth

Let go of value and judgment labels by accepting bad is not truly bad, it just a different vantage point to your creative work. #writerslife #artistlife #musicianlife #creativelife #introvertmarketing #empowercreatives #creativegrowth #indieauthorsupport #creativeconnections

What you tell yourself can suck all the energy out of a project. It is important for them to remember doubts and feelings are not truth. Truth lies in the center of extremes. #writerslife #artistlife #musicianlife #introvertmarketing #empowercreatives #creativegrowth #creativeconnections

The nature of creation is ups and downs, swinging from I’m brilliant to This is garbage. #writerslife #artistlife #musicianlife #creativelife #introvertmarketing #empowercreatives #creativegrowth #indieauthorsupport #creativeconnections

Beware of the words “need” and “should” as they are often red flags of inherited expectations or beliefs. They serve as a reminder to check in with your intuitive guidance and the authentic resonance to you and your vision. #writerslife #introvertmarketing #empowercreatives #creativegrowth

If a person feels like they know what they’re doing they’re repeating, not creating. #writerslife #artistlife #musicianlife #creativelife #introvertmarketing #empowercreatives #creativegrowth #indieauthorsupport #creativeconnections

Creative’s who are fiercely protective of their creative time and look at the creative work as the energetic center of their business are vigilant with their boundaries. #writerslife #artistlife #musicianlife #creativelife #introvertmarketing #empowercreatives #creativegrowth #creativeconnections

Learning to say “no” and establishing clear boundaries with others is paramount to finding balance. #writerslife #artistlife #musicianlife #creativelife #introvertmarketing #empowercreatives #creativegrowth #indieauthorsupport #creativeconnections

Creative work gives energy, but there are aspects that are draining. By outsourcing energy draining work, you reserve your energy for your truly impactful work--creating. #writerslife #artistlife #musicianlife #creativelife #introvertmarketing #empowercreatives #creativegrowth #creativeconnections

When it comes to running a creative business, creatives who ground and center their business in the act of creation can sustain long term careers. However, when it comes to life it is important to ground in humanity and recognize your creative work is a support tool. #creativelife #empowercreatives
