![]() In my experience, it's the act of making things and doing our work that we figure out who we are. If I'd waited to know who I was or what I was about before I started "being creative," I'd still be sitting around trying to figure myself out instead of making things. Your morgue file is where you keep the dead things that you'll later reanimate in your work. Newspaper reporters call this a "morgue file" - I like that name even better. See something worth stealing? Put it in the swipe file. It can be digital or analog, as long as it works. Keep a swipe file - the stuff you've swiped from others. Go to whatever lengths necessary to make sure you always have paper on you. Nothing is more important than an unread library. ![]() Collect books, even if you don't plan on reading them right away. It's not the book you start with, it's the book that book leads you to. There's magic in being surrounded by books. ![]()
