Let’s fill up our creative wells.
THE IDEA: Input/Output is geared toward helping us surf the ebb and flow of our creative energy. It features a mix of exercises, recommendations for TV/movies/art/writing that have filled up my well, as well as original interviews with creative people working in a variety of fields like comedy, ceramics, illustration, film making, late night, maybe architecture? Do people have that job for real or is it just a career in rom-coms?
THE PROCESS: Over the past five years, I’ve been tracking my creative input/output in a very simple Google sheet, and it’s done more to change my writing practice than anything else I’ve tried.
