I read a great quote today in Daphne Gray-Grant's recent newsletter about writing. I thought I would share it.
"In matters of taste, there is no dispute."
Our unique tastes are as individual and distinct as our DNA - no two people are quite alike. Yet in a digital era where we are bombarded with the tastes of others, it can be difficult to identify our own unique tastes.
I think one of the most valuable things we can each do is nurture and develop our tastes. This will guide us in spirit, work, purpose and creative pursuits.
As beginners our creations will never live up to our tastes.
No one tells us this when we begin pursuing our creative endeavors.
Ira Glass explains this in an interview about storytelling.
Tip of the Day: Even if your own work does not live up to your unique tastes, keep creating!
