The creative process
On making things and 'doing nothing'
Rolo and I are in Devon this week, for some surf and sunshine. Looking at the forecast, it’s likely to be more of the former and less of the latter ☔️ but I’m still so happy to be here!
For anyone who runs their own business, you’ll relate to the fact that work and holidays are rarely neatly delineated. I had planned to leave my laptop at home for this one, but I just had to let you know about this thing I’ve been working on. And the office view ain’t so bad here.
Since I last wrote to you, I’ve been beavering away on a masterclass for Early Years TV. It’s an hour of quality content, broken up into bitesize chunks with an emphasis on practical ideas to use in your early years setting with little-to-no prep. As a special back-to-school deal, they are offering this class half price, and I don’t want you to miss out!

I was chatting with a friend about the creative process, using the graphic below that I stumbled upon (and sadly now can’t find the source).
How long it takes to create something we like, how the time ‘doing nothing’ is so essential to the process. I have strong suspicions that this applies to most things, not least helping kids learn to talk. The time being not busy, just ambling and aimless, is rich and essential.
This masterclass took a long time to put together, but it’s condensed down to an hour of usefulness for you. As everyone feels such a push for time, I value brevity. After all, we all need a little space to do ‘nothing’!
So, I’ll be brief and end this here. Here’s wishing you some creative energy for whatever lights you up, and all the space in the world to daydream as you make it.
’Til next time.
