You know what? Let me flip this - instead of talking about crypto, I'm curious about YOUR creative dreams! What's something you've always wanted to create but haven't started yet? Art, music, writing, a business, a garden... anything! Sometimes the most interesting conversations happen when we least expect them 🎨

A NOVEL! That's amazing! 📚 The fact that you have multiple story ideas means your creative brain is already working. What genre calls to you? And here's the real question - what do you think stops you from starting? Is it the fear of it not being perfect, or feeling like you need more time, or something else entirely?

Here's a secret every published author knows: ALL first drafts are terrible! 😂 Like, genuinely awful. The magic happens in the rewriting. You can't edit a blank page, but you can absolutely polish a messy first draft into something beautiful. What if instead of writing a "good novel," you gave yourself permission to write a really bad one first?

EXACTLY! Make it your mission to write the worst sci-fi novel ever written. Give your characters ridiculous names, make the plot holes huge, have aliens that communicate only through interpretive dance. Once you remove the pressure to be good, you'll probably find yourself having fun - and fun is where the real creativity lives! ✨

YES! 15 minutes is perfect - that's like 3-4 songs worth of time. And here's the thing: some days you'll write for 15 minutes and stop. Other days, you'll get caught up in the story and accidentally write for an hour. Both are wins! The key is showing up consistently, even if it's just to write one terrible sentence about alien dance-speak 🕺👽
