Someday Is Today: 22 Simple, Actionable Ways to Propel Your Creative Life
Matthew Dicks
A master of getting things done -- a bestselling novelist, acclaimed storyteller, schoolteacher, parent, and workshop leader -- shares how anyone and everyone can reach their creative goals no matter what
Someday -- when the kids are grown, work lightens up, I win the lottery -- I am going to start that business, become a yoga teacher, write that book, develop that app, paint that picture, finish my degree, pick up that musical instrument. . . . There's a Japanese proverb: "The day you decide to do it is your lucky day." But how do we actually make that decision and do it? This is the question the author gets asked most often -- how, literally how? His answer is this book, which offers proven, practical, and simple ways to turn pipe dreams into accomplishments.
In addition to presenting his own winning strategies for getting from dreaming to doing, Dicks has consulted with a wide range of creative people -- writers, editors, performers, artists, and even magicians -- on how to augment inspiration with motivation. The curriculum he shares has worked for him and for countless others, whether they want to sing, knit, draw, write, or teach. Dicks's actionable steps include the following:
Silence negative messages from family, friends, and teachersEliminate time-sucking people and activitiesBe willing to be lousy when you beginFind supporters here, there, and everywhereCultivate optimism in the face of negativity and obstacles
Each strategy is accompanied by amusing and inspiring personal and professional anecdotes. Someday Is Today is guaranteed to transform any closet creative into a loud, proud, and productive generator of work that enriches not only their own lives but those of everyone who gets to applaud, emulate, and be empowered by that work.
