From Neill Cameron’s Twitter:

• I was working recently with a bunch of kids who kept tearing up their own drawings in frustration, so I did something I’ve not done before.
  
• I talked honestly to a classroom full of children about how much I hate my own drawing.
  
• Okay, not the full extent. These kids ain’t ready to hear that. But that I do.
  
• They were kind of appalled, and horrified and fascinated, but anyway, they stopped tearing up their drawings.
  
• As I attempted to explain it — and many of you reading this will know already — when you make a drawing, there are two versions of it.
  
• There’s the version that exists in your head, and then there’s the version that ends up on paper.
  
• And because you can see both versions, you can’t help but compare them, and feel frustrated by the difference.
  
• But here’s the thing, and I think it’s easy to forget this: no-one else can see that first version.
  
• They can’t judge against it. They can only see, and judge, the version that exists on paper.
  
• And you know what, this sounds crazy, but they might actually like it for what it is. They might think it’s cool that you made it.
  
• I mean, holy god, if you guys could see the version of Mega Robo Bros that exists in my head.
  
• Your eyeballs would melt and your heart be burned away by sheer divine fire of amazingness.
  
• But the differences between that version and what’s on the page are only visible to me, and shouldn’t — can’t — matter to anyone else.
  
• If a draing goes a bit wrong, ah well. Look at it, learn, try and make the next one better.
  
• Or, possibly even better: abandon false objective notions of quality altogether and just enjoy the process, the activity, of making a thing.
  
• Not quite how I phrased it to the Year5s, but hopefully you get the idea.
  
• IN SUMMARY: be kinder to your drawings, and yourselves. I know, it’s hard. But try.
  

(Though this was written by a visual artist, the advice is applicable across creative disciplines – be kind to yourselves and to your stories!)

You know, I think I needed to read this.

This is too much adorableness <3<3<3

I’ll reblog this every time I see it, because there’s something about burly beardy bikers giving help and companionship to a small hurt kitten that makes the world a little bit better.

Back in middle school, my friends and I used a very simple coded language for writing secret messages. I saw some posts about needing to hide one’s beliefs from partners/bosses/parents so I wanted to share it with you! These would also be great to incorporate into sigils since they are simple lines and dots.
