There\u2019s a saying that everyone has a novel inside them. I think it doesn\u2019t necessarily have to be a novel, but the sentiment is probably true and that even the most unlikely people have a lot of creativity inside them that they can\u2019t get out. Everyone has something. A lot of people secretly work on little personal projects or just daydream about working on little projects but everyone has these little ideas that they want to get out.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The problem that most people have and that I definitely have is getting them out in the open. There\u2019s a fear that you\u2019ll personally sabotage your own project and it\u2019ll come out greatly diminished from what you expected. I think the trick is to realise that whatever you do, it won\u2019t come out like you imagined it and that you should just go for it anyway.<\/p>\n
People don\u2019t really mean what they think they do when they talk about writer\u2019s block. Writer\u2019s block isn\u2019t a complete lack of ideas, it\u2019s a fear that the ideas won\u2019t be very good, or realised properly. Everyone has ideas, it\u2019s just getting them out of your head and into a physical form that\u2019s the challenge.<\/p>\n
It doesn\u2019t really matter if what you do is rubbish as there are strong chances that someone out there will like it, even if it is due to a complete and utter lack of taste. I used to check a blog that utterly panned bad webcomics, but the comics weren\u2019t all that bad, and they had some fairly solid readerships. It even goes beyond \u201cbut it\u2019s just a matter of opinion\u201d into the realms of \u201cit doesn\u2019t matter about the opinion\u201d. It doesn\u2019t matter if what you\u2019ve produced is rubbish. By all means try and improve, and listening to and adapting to criticism is a good thing, but producing rubbish is the only way you get better. Just on the subject of webcomics, almost every single long running comic you look at will have a massive gulf of quality between their first current strips. This is because they ran with the stuff they thought wouldn\u2019t work well and improved from there.<\/p>\n
You have to create the rubbish first. It also doesn\u2019t matter if you think you\u2019re going to ruin your good idea that you have inside you. Chances are you\u2019ll have better in the future, and you can always revise what you\u2019ve already done later. If you have ever formulated an independent thought, you\u2019ll be capable of doing it again.<\/p>\n
The saying that everyone has a novel inside them is wrong. To put it more accurately, everyone has at least one novel in them at any given time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
