“Being Creative”

Austin Kleon says in his book “Keep Going”, that ; “When you pick the Noun, you pick the Verb also.”

Let go of the thing you are trying to be (The Noun)

"Published author", "Artist", "Creative"

Focus instead on what you do (The Verb), your verb is probably much more interesting and unique.

"Become the best in the world at what you do. Keep redefining what you do until this is true." -Naval Ravikant

I make collections of writings and drawings, that I call Material.Then I craft the material into products for myself and others.

What do you do? (Verbs only)

Hi Adam, you hear the words “focus on the process”. What you wrote today totally clarifies this for me. Thank you.
