RE: What Is Living, Breathing Content? | D.Update EP. 51
Don't think I've been doing it long enough to say with confidence that I've hit the point of living breathing content yet, but there have been a couple of times when a post has just kind of fallen together and steamed from my fingers with hardly any effort from me. And the times when I've done that have been the times when I've been super immersed in creating and have perhaps even already written a post or a story or something else that day. In fact I'd say most ideas come to me AFTER I've already been immersed in creation for a while. It's almost like finding the flow state, and that's when it becomes as natural as breathing. So yes, I think doing it every day is important, but so is the length of time you spend on it each day. (for me anyway) Did you ever watch the movie Howl? There's a point where he says something about writing all day and how you get into it so that it becomes a natural state. Maybe it's the same with creating video? Although I guess the energy expenditure is kind of different...
I've definitely experienced a similar feeling, especially when it comes to editing. That creative flow state is my favorite by far!
I have not seen Howl but sounds like an interesting movie! I'll have to check it out... but yes... I very much agree. Anything can become a flow state when you tap into that infinite creative space.
Doing it consistency is another challenge in itself though :P
