The NWWBW 08 project, or perhaps, pact, is about forcing your beautiful but unresponsive, and large uncooperative body, into producing at least ONE CREATIVE THING EACH WEEK.
That's all there is to it. You have to stop thinking about doing something and actually do it. Even if you're busy. Or too tired. Or getting too old for this shit. There are no more excuses.
And it can be something small. It could be a poem, or a drawing, or a macaroni necklace. It could be a sock monkey. It could be the chapter of a book. Or you could even just take a step, or a risk, towards paving your creative future. Submit something to something. Enquire about a course. Do some research. Apply for something. Dust off your guitar. But do something.
And it doesn't matter how good it is - that isn't the point. It might take months to make anything you are happy with. But do it anyway.
One little thing. Every single week.
This forum is a place for you to share your efforts with like-minded creative people, in the hopes that we can help inspire each other into action. You may also wish to start a community project and collaborate with other people, or get everyone working on a similar thing. Let's branch out with as many new ideas as possible. Not every idea will work, but anything is worth a shot. And maybe something awesome will happen.
This is also just a place to unwind between other stuff. It will be a slow build but hopefully we can get a strong community together. So make yourself comfortable.
