We all have artist within us. And it needs to be fed . . . to be nurtured.
How? In order to nurture it, you need time to practise it. Make it as a daily practice, magsulat ka nang kahit ano. It could be a one-shot story, a poem, or just a daily reflection about your day on your journal to exercise your creative muscle. We have to constantly nurture our artist within.
What are the other ways to nurture it? Pagsusulat lang ba? No. You can also try to consume other forms of arts like painting, movies, songs, and many more. Doing this will widen your imagination.
Just like having a romantic relationship, hindi naman dapat palagi na nag-uusap kayo ng artist mo through writing. You guys both deserve a break. Resting is productive, too. You can try some physical exercise like yoga or meditation or just be still, relax, as in tumunganga ka lang sa dingding.
Hindi naman kailangan na araw-araw kang nagsusulat. I hope you don't beat yourself up whenever you miss a day, a week, or even a month of not writing. You're human, it's okay to take a break.
Hihintayin ka naman ng pagsusulat. Once you're well rested, mas madali kang maka-catch up ng idea to write the next chapter at mas madali kang makapag-focus.
Kaya I hope, as much as you want to be productive every day, you also don't forget to let yourself have that break. Once ready ka nang bumalik ulit, you'll realize na hindi ka naman pala iniwanan ng pagsusulat.
Remember to always take care of yourself and your artist within.
