“To vary your inspiration, consider varying your inputs. Turn the sound off to watch a film, listen to the same song on repeat, read only the first word of each sentence in a short story, arrange stones by size or color, learn to lucid dream. Break habits. Look for differences. Notice connections.”

“Of all the great works that we can experience, nature is the most absolute and enduring. We can witness it change through the seasons. We can see it in the mountains, the oceans, the deserts, and the forest. We can watch the changes of the moon each night, and the relationship between the moon and the stars.”

“30% of an artist’s life is devoted to pretending you like your own ideas
10% is finding enjoyment in making huge irreparable mistakes
6% is going along with other people’s interpretations of your art
5% is believing your own bullshit even as you’re in the process of making it up
10% is trying to view your art from your current love interest’s perspective
9% is keeping a journal by your bed
5% is remembering the feeling of being loudly dissed by the person you most idolized in third grade
5% is finding something obscure to reference constantly
20% is ignoring the people who like your work”
