#Things to consider

  • Buy a Lego set and build.
  • Any creative process will involve time not thinking about the problem.
  • Move forward slowly.
  • Start by buying the absolute cheapest tools you can find. Upgrade the ones you use a lot. If you wind up using some tool for a job, buy the very best you can afford.
  • When working on articles, I write my notes to fit a 4-by-6-inch index card; any longer and it has to be a new note. This keeps me concise.
  • Read your heroes biographies. Study their heroes, too. Know the bar that your heroes set for themselves, and set your own in that direction as well.
  • Set up three different surfaces—one for storing your works in progress, one for sending to other people for feedback, and one for displaying your finished work.
