Inspired by Rick Rubin’s The Creative Act: A Way of Being. How freeing would it be to create purely for yourself, without worrying about what anyone else thinks? I can’t say I’ve fully reached that kind of inner peace or maturity, but I try to follow that idea with my notebook and postcard series. I never really set out to sell them (which probably shows, since I don’t put much energy into marketing or promoting them). For me, it’s about making something I genuinely love. If others enjoy them too, that’s a bonus — and I’m lucky there are people out there who do. But in the end, what matters most is that I’m in charge of the whole process, and I’m creating for myself.
Big thanks to Rick Rubin for the inspiring book, the beautiful cover, and the wisdom you shared.
