A Twenty Percent Creative

I am a twenty percent creative. I am someone who devotes 20% of my time, effort, attention, focus, and purpose each week to the following:

  • making creative works,

  • studying diverse creative content to inform future creative works,

  • and building community through online and in-person interactions with people who share similar creative interests.

Despite having a busy life with plenty of other responsibilities, I carve out the time needed to take my creative journey seriously and improve through deliberate practice.

I am a firm believer that the time, effort, and attention we devote now to a new skill, a long term project, and a new network of people with similar interests can plant the seeds for a next career and/or a change in lifestyle in the future. I think this is especially true if we find joy, fulfillment, and growth in the process.

This newsletter, A Twenty Percent Creative, is a compilation of these ideas and a showcase for these pursuits. I hope you will subscribe and follow along as I share my photography, digital art, writing, and other projects along with resources and behind the scenes stories behind the creative works.

If you are looking for a newsletter that inspires your creativity, is entertaining, and gives you opportunities for networking with other creative people, please subscribe now to receive my newsletter in your email inbox or the Substack app on a periodic basis.
