Short term creative projects

I used to have a negative perception of things that didn't last. It was as though the ending nullified all that had come before it. And so I wanted everything to last forever. However in the past 6 months or so I've started to see the appeal of short term creative projects. Creating in a … Continue reading Short term creative projects →

Picking the right project to pursue

If you're what I like to refer to as an ideas person, you probably have the challenge of picking what to pursue. You might find yourself with half a dozen great ideas and the thought of bringing each one to life is equally exciting. It can be difficult figuring out the best way to solve … Continue reading Picking the right project to pursue →

How do you come up with something to write about every single day? Write about your interests and write about your experiences. The origin of this blog was about picking a small moment of each day and writing about the lesson I took from it. The small moment could be watching a film I loved … Continue reading Why I’ll never run out of ideas →

Creators and consumers

One thing I have observed over the years is that there is a very clear difference between being a creator and being a consumer in the online space. It is first worth noting that all creators consume and all consumers create. However, the title you choose or align with most is based around what you … Continue reading Creators and consumers →

Better together

Sometimes when you're so used to being independent and doing things alone, the idea of collaboration and working together is unappealing. After all, your past has shown that you don't need to work with someone else to get things done, so why should you change that. However, sometimes from collaborating with others it allows us … Continue reading Better together →

In search of community

I think a key part of being creative is doing it as part of a community. Community is really important. You don't need to be working on a joint project you can simply work on your individual projects together. Being part of a community can help keep you motivated and accountable, give you people to … Continue reading In search of community →

Don’t try, just be

I think it could be said that one of the biggest things that holds us back is that we try to hard to be a specific type of way or create a certain kind of thing. Often our efforts go into emulating what we have already seen done and the way that we think or … Continue reading Don’t try, just be →

What’s missing?

I'm a big believer in creativity, in art and in making things. That's the thing that has always been my joy in life. It's not something that I do for a living or get paid for. However, I value it just as much, if not more than my day job. It feels special to make … Continue reading What’s missing? →

What I love about writing on thedailygemm is that I can look back and remember the inspiration behind certain posts. Sometimes writing is just a way for me to work through a difficult situation, instead of getting caught up in the moment, I put the focus on finding a solution or looking at things from a different perspective. Haven't been writing on this blog lately. Instead I've been going to a weekly writing class and working on articles for something new. I love it when my most popular posts are also some of my personal favourites. September 2022 August 2022 July 2022 I that I'm able to write things that will be helpful to read months or even years later. Top posts from May last year. When I write from personal experience and it resonates, I always think, this is for us. It's for me being able to express myself and something that you can relate to.
