Creative Process: Decide it’s Happening

This post is from my travels in Japan in June!

Sometimes when the moment is right, I decide things. I won’t know how, but I will decide something will be created, sometimes by a certain day. And when it magically happens, I smile.

It’s happened many times already.

Recently I saw this cute Pikachu in a second-hand shop with a witch hat on it. It cost about $5. It’s perfect for me. It is too big to put in a suitcase and I am supposed to return to America in July, but my boyfriend Andrew said I could keep it at his house until I return.

I’ve decided I will return and I don’t know how or when. But I will. So I bought the Pikachu. And I’m keeping the boy. We are going to figure it all out.

That’s what being creative is. Decide what you want to create. Make the decision. And then when it’s time, you’ll figure it out. You can’t always see the “how” right now, but keep your eyes ready, and it just might show up.
