Take The First Step

For many people, taking that first step is the most difficult aspect of any creative task.  It's a declaration of intent and also an act of faith, since all too often we start a project without really knowing where to start or - worryingly - where, how or when it will end.

Sometimes too, getting started can feel like the end of a lovely period of free and endless thinking.  Giving shape and form to your ideas can feel like you're killing them a little, selling them short - or limiting them in some way that feels uncomfortable.
