This is so inspiring and thank you for sharing what you are experiencing. I have been mulling around this desire and vision for a graphic novel and the timing of your post is so funny to me. When we create we are meeting ourselves and growing. That’s what I hear in your post and it is a great reminder what can happen when we follow these impulses that come from our desires and our visions. I greatly admire your courage and commitment and trust. I hope I can be just where you are.
Hey Sarah, thank you so much for this comment! Reading it meant a lot to me - it's really amazing that, while muddling through difficult creative processes, we can meet somewhere in the middle and inspire each other. I love that!! Your words encourage me to keep going and to keep sharing, also in those moments of doubt and confusion.
Best of luck with your graphic novel, I'm sure you can make it work!
Not that i could try to stay sane, but listening to teachers like @sebeneselassie.substack.com helps. The measure is never other's opinion or the status of the outcome/product, but the time spent working and joy felt during work. Bonus when my thoughts are calm and innovative idea arrives. Enjoy and share progress, wish you all the best!
ah thanks! That’s so true- it’s so important to enjoy the process, and usually the work I make when I keep calm is much better than the things I make when I’m stressed and putting too much pressure on myself!
I wish i could stop by your studio, and I am sure my first reaction would be:"Wow, what an amazing body of work!!! This book will be a true masterpiece. You’ve outdone yourself. Leonardo da Vinci would be proud!"
Of course it's not the same as getting validation from your own inner voice. But you are doing SO well sweetie!!!!! Hold on, you can do it and I can not wait to see the process, read your newsletter and finally get to see the final piece.
