Dear Creators,

Ms. K made a 5th Grade Talent Show Flipgrid. Get your mugs on there! It’s scary. It’s intimidating. I know.

Just make something. We need more creators and fewer critics. Don’t waste time worrying if your creation is good enough or if someone else’s is better or if anyone will pay attention to it. They might not. But while they’re doing whatever they’re doing, you’re creating something.

Because living is a creative act. I saw a bird stealing stuff out of my neighbor’s flower planter the other day and then dart away. That bird uses creativity to build her home and protect her young. Unlike the bird, we don’t live inside our own creativity. But, we also totally do.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
