Episode 16: How to Get Out of the Fugly Stage of Art

You want to make great art, but what if you feel like everything you make is just… well, fugly?  

As an artist myself, I’ve been in the “fugly stage” so much I should have real estate in it! But I’m not alone — and neither are you. Every artist experiences it! The key to overcoming the fugly stage is to understand it and when it happens, so you can leverage it as inspiration rather than a source of frustration. 

In today’s episode, I’m talking about how to turn the fuglies into something beautiful, plus: 

• Each step of the creative process and how to assess where you are right now

• How to decide when it’s time to walk away and take a break

• Bouncing back when you feel like nothing is turning out right
