The Thing You Just Made

The grand weans are running around as I write, with all the beautiful chaos that brings with it. Young children are THE most creative beings in the universe. That’s how they find out about the world. It’s how they grow.

Being around children is great for anyones personal creativity, because in their presence you forget for a while about crazy notions like perfection and technique and finished works and finding an “audience”.

Instead all that matters is the story. The new worlds you are discovering and building together. The entertaining noises and wild fantasies that emerge and disappear and mingle and crash and fade.

Living Life. And then onto the next thing, without a care for the thing you just made.
