Anyway, just create. Write shit, draw shit, build whatever you want, that's the important part.
There's no be-all end-all formula for the Perfect Work.
Just be YOU. No one can ever create what YOU create b/c it's you making it, and you are the only you.

I find it so funny when people are like, “I like Lin-Manuel Miranda, I just wish he weren’t so corny.” Like, what do you think the #1 requirement for a composer of musical theatre is.

The best part of the writing process is making the space you’re writing in aesthetically soothing. Warm cup of tea/coffee, cosy cardigan, warm lighting, a sweet treat. It’s all about the mindset. Roleplay academic weapon->become academic weapon. Fake it till you make it📓🤓

Writer’s Block tends to be one of two things:
1) the fear that the words won’t be good enough. You just have to accept that they won’t be, write the wrong words and find the right words later.
2) you don’t know WHAT to write, at which point you need to step away and think someplace quiet.

The dirty little open secret to writing is that no one will ever know, nor care, how many drafts of a thing were written - people will only ever care about the crafted thing, and will, despite all knowledge to the contrary, assume it came out fully formed that way. No one thinks about shit drafts.
