   #Creativity is a self-filling pitcher. No matter how often we pour our ideas onto the page, the blog, the fediverse, new ones or, at least, provoking variations fill the temporary void.

   As a corollary, avoiding the step of pouring out the ideas can have the effect of merely bottling and capping the output, trapping the creative process itself.

   Moral: Don't hold it in. Pour your ideas freely. Who cares if nobody else cares! And there's a chance someone will make something useful in the end!

      I find myself regularly needing this advice. Falling into the trap that my creative output needs to be 'good' or, perhaps worse, 'important'.

      Thanks for the reminder to just do stuff.
