You’ve heard me say you cannot fail at art.

The reason is crucial, creative: the word “failure” implies a permanent halt, the end of operations.

You can always try again. That is why you can’t fail at art—and why you need to absorb this truth to find your freedom from that word.

If you were a writer, you still are.

If you were an artist, you still are.

You cannot lose your creative identity.

I had no idea that it would be so difficult to write from  a prompt based off of my own songs…

We wrote from a prompt based off of my song “A Weapon”, and it was simultaneously surreal and like pulling teeth to write anything because I feel like I worked with any sort of metaphor involving my body – or really anyone’s – being a weapon nine years ago. I also don’t feel like my brain fully turned on until close to the end of workshop, so could have been part of the issue, as well.

Something to keep in mind if I ever run a workshop based off of my work… Huh…
