If You Are a Creative, Momentum is Your Best Friend
And a few ways how you can build it for yourself
Those who have never written anything before, think that authors get kicked in the head with inspiration for a new book.
As if Zeus himself comes down from the clouds and whispers the idea (as well as the detailed outline) of a new book into the author’s ear.
Suddenly, KABOOM!
The Author goes into a trans-state and locks himself in his room for weeks, stopping only for eating and bathroom breaks, until he finishes what he’s working on.
Those of us who do write, know that all of this is bullshit, of course.
Authors (and any type of creative person, for that matter) ride the wave of momentum.
Not advice from Zeus. (Fuck him, actually)
The larger the wave of this momentum — the bigger projects the creative person can take on.
What Momentum Looks Like
Imagine you are pushing a train. For some reason, you just need to (and you’re actually able to).
The moment you start, it feels terribly hard. The train is heavy, the wheels are rusty and a mosquito bites you in the butt.
