Overcoming Creative Block 🌠✨
Checkout this newsletter and head to our website to read our newest blog on overcoming creative block with grace, process, and intention. Support our 7th Annual Showcase - deetz below!
“I've started to embrace this idea. When I hit a creative block, I remind myself to give myself grace. There’s a process to everything, and sometimes the block is just my mind taking a moment to assess all the elements before they come together naturally. It’s actually part of the creative process, helping me align my work with my intended message…
Remember: it’s all a process. GRACE. PROCESS. INTENTION.
Process (Noun): a series of actions or steps taken to achieve a particular result.
Grace (Noun): courteous goodwill.
Intentions (Noun): things intended; a plan or aim.”
-Tia Schmidt (Dancer and Instructor at Richmond Urban Dance)
