Not for normal people, but for people who make stuff, the holidays are looming. It’s already time to start planning for that stuff that people will (hopefully) want to buy for presents. It can be a little nerve-wracking for an unstructured creative person like me to be told: you need to be ordering your supplies.. you need to be coming up with designs… you need to have a plan! On one hand, it is full of promise that sales are going to shoot up, but on the other hand, what the heck do I do exactly to plan for this?
I don’t plan in advance for my *own* Christmas, and now I have to plan in advance for someone else’s?
Ah well. I just have to keep going back to my ideal, the one that reminds me that I’m not doing this for the money. If I sell well during the holiday season, that’s great. But I can’t force designs and creativity – it has to be inspired and it has to come from my heart. And so it will.
“The creative is the place where no one else has ever been. You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you’ll discover will be wonderful. What you’ll discover is yourself.” –Alan Alda
