Making It Real

If you’re an artist, a writer, a musician, or a maker of any kind, you already know the truth. The ideas come easily. The vision is vivid. The work itself feels alive in your hands. What doesn’t always come so naturally is everything that has to happen around the work. Planning. Promotion. Timelines. Outreach. Follow-up. Budgets. Calendars. It’s a second full-time job layered on top of the one that actually feeds your soul.

You don’t have to paint, write a screenplay, or design a logo to be a creative. Creativity shows up in how you solve problems, how you communicate, how you build things, and how you imagine what could be better.
