Covey says, "Start with the end in mind," and that really does sound sensible. It might be for losing a few pounds or paying off a debt. But when it comes to creativity, I think starting with the end in mind can often times be fatal. Fatal to the evolution of wherever the creativity will take you. Fatal to beginning the process, because you are not really sure how it is going to end. Fatal to the fear that it might not be any good, might not be recognized or win any awards. So maybe by holding to this idea, you don't actually have to start with the end in mind, rather the better advice is just to start. Start and see where that leads you next. Start and start again if need be. You might just be surprised when you get to the end and it ends up being so much better than you ever could have imagined. Just start!
