Each day of the creative process resembles a puzzle piece - sorta whacky looking out of context, but gradually revealing the mosaic brainchild as they’re connected.

The key is not to dismiss a particular puzzle piece because it isn’t pleasing, in and of itself.

One writing session might feel like the most cattywampus and disheartening couple hours of putting pen to paper - and if you stopped there, things would, in fact, stink.

But persevering gets you to the next day, which gets you to the day after that, and before you know it, there’re no more pieces to fit into place.
