The Create Everyday Project

I challenge myself to make something every day. A design, a sketch, a thesis, a digital experiment. Some turn into finished pieces. Some don’t. The point isn’t the result. It’s the practice.

Creativity works like a muscle. If you don’t use it, it weakens. Waiting for inspiration never works. Sitting down and doing the work does. That’s why I create every day. Not because I have time. Not because I feel like it. Because I know that if I don’t, ideas will stall, skills will slip, and that blank page will only get more intimidating.

Routine matters. Discipline matters. Creativity isn’t about waiting for the right mood. It’s about making the choice to create when there’s no perfect idea, no obvious starting point. Some days I sketch something simple. Some days I push myself to try a new tool, a different technique. Some days I just force my hand to move until something clicks.

This project isn’t about making perfect work. It’s about keeping the gears turning. If you’re serious about your creative work, ask yourself when you last made something outside of a deadline, a project, or someone else’s request. If the answer isn’t “today,” then start now. No waiting. No excuses. Just create.

The Create Every Day Project

This started as a personal challenge. Make something every day. No skipping. No waiting for a perfect idea. Just sit down and create.

Over time, it became more than a habit. It turned into a mindset. When you create every day, you stop seeing creativity as something rare or special. It becomes part of how you think, how you see the world. You stop fearing bad ideas. You stop hesitating. You get faster. Sharper. Better.

Most people talk about making things. Fewer actually do it. Even fewer do it consistently. That’s the gap. That’s where the real growth happens. If you want to be more creative, stop overthinking and start making. No rules, no limits. Draw something. Write something. Design something. Build something. Share it or don’t. But do it.

Take up the challenge. Start today. Make something, even if it’s small. Then do it again tomorrow. See what happens when creativity stops being an event and starts being a habit.

Example Creative Projects

I write a lot of my thoughts down right here on my blog. They are less about writing for others, although I do believe more people should teach what they know. Writing these blogs allows me to take little nuggets of ideas floating around in my brain and convert them into processes, methods, or even just to explore concepts for my own education or entertainment.

Today, I was working on various sketches and illustrations of vintage campers. I love vintage vehicles and travel, so these little tow-behind escape pods fascinate me. The simplicity of their designs makes them memorable. I picked out a few and then started creating a variety of designs. Some were based on real designs, while others were based on an idealized image of one of these amazing travel trailers.
