When you sit down to write a blog post is that a comfortable creative activity? Are there times when it feels like the words are stuck or just not sure how to say what you’re really trying to say?

Recently Rob finished a 100 days in a row blogging challenge. That project and other writing he’s done in recent years for team collaboration, manifestos, pitches for funding, he’s noticed a few things he’s been practicing that are helpful he’d like to share.

Here in this mini-workshop, we’ll share some of these practices to write quickly with constraints, prompts, and instinct.

We’ve all been there–you start out with the promise of a new day, a reasonably curated to-do list, and a commitment to make your art. And suddenly you look at the clock and it’s the end of the day and all you have to show for it is seven or eight little piles of unfinished good intentions. This happens to all of us.

Whatever your skill level, it’s super easy to get lost in the various tasks that go into making art. And for good reason–not only is art a series of complex tasks, but we’re often performing the tasks in chunks of time either stolen from other commitments, or in the spaces between emotionally and physically expensive commitments.

Frustrated that you can’t find a way to bring the big feelings you get from others’ art into your own? Maybe you just need to train your analytic eye to level up your inferencing skills. Being able to look for and identify the ideas behind the art can lend you insights to help you get back on track and feel motivated to create again.

Clarity competes with other concerns when writing and illustrating – what’s a useful approach to get enough information and emotion into the page? When should you be going for clarity vs inspiring awe?
