HOW TO BE CREATIVE

---

The more original your idea is, the less good advice other people will be able to give you. When I first started with the cartoon-on- back-of-bizcard format, people thought I was nuts. Why wasnʼt I trying to do some- thing more easy for markets to digest, i.e., cutie-pie greeting cards or whatever? You donʼt know if your idea is any good the moment itʼs created. Neither does anyone else. The most you can hope for is a strong gut feeling that it is. And trusting your feelings is not as easy as the optimists say it is. Thereʼs a reason why feelings scare us. And asking close friends never works quite as well as you hope, either. Itʼs not that they deliberately want to be unhelpful. Itʼs just they donʼt know your world one millionth as well as you know your world, no matter how hard they try, no matter how hard you try to explain. Plus, a big idea will change you. Your friends may love you, but they donʼt want you to change. If you change, then their dynamic with you also changes. They like things the way they are, thatʼs how they love you—the way you are, not the way you may become.
