Creativity Tip #6: Take steps to manifest your creative idea.

By Chris Dunmire

If you have words buzzing around in your head, a doodle itching in your fingers, or a design idea for your next quilt — start taking steps to manifest (give form to) your creative idea.

Right before you do that, discard any notions that the manifestation should be perfect the first time around. Or the second, third, or fourth. Plan for imperfect manifesting. Then there is nothing to be afraid of!

Yes, just start typing your words, drawing your doodles, and designing your quilt. With certainty, you'll know what to do when the next step arrives.

This creativity tip is taken directly from one of my own creative ideas that failed at first, but went onto became successful. But if I never manifested the idea to begin with, it wouldn't have become anything.

It's true — read about it here: The First e-Book I Never Wrote. And don't forget about my Nit Wit comics!
