Creativity is a habit, not a talent.

Developed through doing the same reps everyday.

Write, edit, publish.

That’s the magic formula.

No writing, no words,

No words, no editing,

No editing, no publishing.

Everything starts with writing.

——————————————————————

Can’t get into this habit?

Waiting for your talent to hit?

Waiting for inspiration, motivation…

You’re waiting…

But when will they strike?

When they do, you still have to write.

There’s no avoiding writing.

 ——————————————————————

You can wait for the muse to whisper in your ear,

Or you can take control,

Put pen to paper, fingers to keys,

And create the spark yourself.

Inspiration is not a lightning bolt,

It’s the friction of routine against the grindstone,

It’s the sparks that fly when you refuse to quit,

When you write,

Even when it’s hard,

When you write,

Especially when it’s hard.

Talent without habit is potential unrealized,

A seed that never sees the light.

But habit without talent?

That’s where the real magic happens.

That’s where the words flow,

The ideas grow,

And creativity becomes your second nature.

So, write every day,

Even when it’s tough,

Especially when it’s tough,

That’s when habit brings you practiced talent.
