On Creativity Vol. 1: Developing a Creative Practice Zine

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.

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.
