finding the balance

Some readers may have noticed (and told me) that I write here less often.

I used to commit to a weekly schedule. Every Monday at 6:00 AM, a brief brain-dropping fired off into your inbox. Recently, I've taken a step back from writing consistently. I'm not bailing on this project but pivoting the objectives.

Creativity with rigid timelines isn't always a winning combination. The act can feel forced if you're uninspired or distracted by life events. So, I've now adopted a "write-when-the-muses-come-calling" approach.

Funnily enough, this post is being written in just that way. It's earlier in the morning than I should be awake, but my mind has pushed me to type this out.

Sometimes, that's how creative work should be: loosely done when inspiration strikes. However, scheduling has helped me tremendously: creating a habit and generating huge amounts of finished work. A balance of both is likely the ideal solution.

Just like everything, right? Find the balance. And the right creative cocktail can shift as time turns.

Find the balance.
