In Short: The Nature of Our Work

You cannot trust your day-in and day-out feelings about your creative work. These are no gauge. They are no metric. They are far too fickle.  They will jerk you around. Instead, you must trust the discipline and process of doing the work. The routine of sitting down each day and bearing up the required elements of time and attention. You must trust your God-bestowed creative capabilities.

Creative work is not analytical. Creative work is not reasoned, planned, and executed. It operates differently. Creative work moves like an approaching weather front or walking into a room of people you’ve never met. You can only be present and react. The outcome remains to be seen, and is certain to be different than what you imagined.
