Author Neil Gaiman on creating:

“I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes.

“Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You’re doing things you’ve never done before, and more importantly, you’re Doing Something.

“So that’s my wish for you, and all of us, and my wish for myself. Make New Mistakes.Make glorious, amazing mistakes. Make mistakes nobody’s ever made before. Don’t freeze, don’t stop, don’t worry that it isn’t good enough, or it isn’t perfect, whatever it is: art, or love, or work or family or life.

“Whatever it is you’re scared of doing, Do it.”

Be brave enough to live life creatively

The creative is the place where

no one else has ever been.

You have to leave the city of

your comfort and go into

the wilderness of your intuition.

You can’t get there by bus,

only by hard work and risk,

and by not quite knowing what you are doing.

What you will discover will be

wonderful.

What you discover will be

yourself.

– Alan Alda
