"I always want to be in a state of creation." As an artist, we always have our art in our sights. What we're working on, what we're inspired by, what we're learning, all things that contribute to success in our field. But what are we not focusing on? On today's episode of NION Radio, we're getting into the ABC principle, Always Be Creating, and how you can apply it everywhere in your life, not just your art. We'll also go over some of the common pitfalls in the life of an artist and how to overcome those. So get out there and create your life by creating every small moment. Always be creating!
