15. The Creative Sandbox

16. 1. There is no wrong

17. 2. It doesn’t matter if
you like it or hate it
what matters is joy
in the process

18. 3. Think quantity,
not quality

19. 4. Think tiny
(and daily)

20. 5.
If you
don’t know
where to start,
start anywhere

21. 6. When in doubt,
ask “What if..?”

22. 7. When you get to a crossroads,
take the path you fear.

23. 8. This is a gremlin-free zone
you
suck!
