On Creativity Vol. 1: Developing a Creative Practice Zine

  • $10.00

Build a creative practice that feels natural and sustainable with a zine designed to help you find flow, overcome blocks, and create on your own terms.

The first volume in the On Creativity series, Developing a Creative Practice is a 48-page zine exploring how to build a creative practice that feels grounded, personal, and sustainable. Through essays, reflections, and guided exercises, it helps you move away from burnout, perfectionism, and comparison—toward a rhythm of making that belongs entirely to you.

Printed in small batches in Portland, Oregon, it’s a quiet manifesto for artists and writers learning to trust their own pace.

Part I: What is a Creative Practice?

Positions practice as something you build—not a quota—setting expectations for reflection, intention, and the long view of making work.

Part II: Navigating the Creative Process

Clarifies how creative work actually moves, then gives you concrete ways to shift thinking modes and generate ideas you can carry forward (Understanding the Creative Process, Creative Modes of Thinking, Idea Generation).

Part III: Your Creative Guiding Principles

Guides you to articulate values, vision, and purpose in an Artistic Mission Statement, with a step-by-step exercise to turn that into a usable north star.

Part IV: Developing Your Creative Practice

Helps you identify your authentic process, manage time, and work through resistance and perfectionism while assembling a personalized routine that fits your life and voice.
