"That’s Boring”

The enemy voice managed to get around my guard today. It said what every creative fears: “You’re boring.”

And I listened, which means, I entertained the nonsense by asking myself, “Am I really boring? Will this project put people to sleep?"

Boring is kryptonite to creatives.

And by “creatives" I don’t mean only artists or authors; I mean anyone that produces beauty, delivers on their convictions, and presses “send” with their integrity in tact. Really, I mean anyone that creates.

Here’s a sample of boring:

Flavorless potato soup.
The DMV waiting room with white tile floors.
Cream paint with beige trim.
Canned green beans.
Stucco buildings and strip malls.

You, my friend, are not!
