After reading chapter 2 of Steal Like an Artist by: Austin Kleon, there are 3 guiding principles of creating that I was able to draw out.
Principle 2 - "Pretend to be making something until you actually make something"(Kleon pg. 30). It is okay to not know what you are doing, but give yourself some confidence! Pretend you got it, and it won't seem as hard. One day, you will actually get it! Principle 3 - Be a Good Thief! It is okay to steal some information, just be nice about it. Look to multiple people for inspiration. Give credit where credit is do; honor your inspiration (Twitter shoutout anyone?). And make it yours. Start with what your mentors have taught you, but then make it your own. That way they can steal from you!
