My Creative Manifesto

By: Yi Sheng Tay

2023-10-24


Nothing in this manifesto is true (The name that can be named is not the eternal name).

Part 1: Inside

  1. Do one thing at a time (Limit your activity)
  2. Don't overthink it
  3. Write first, edit later
Part 2: Nothing
  1. Nothing is original
  2. Repetition is a form of change
  3. Experience, not philosophy
Part 3: Outside
  1. It is not possible to make a mistake
  2. Don't be afraid of fun
  3. We learn nothing from success

Remarks

We want to do one thing at a time; to catch one bird with one stone.

When necessary, abandon unfinished work, but at the right time. (The work is done when you feel it is.)

There is no need to believe or understand anything we say about ourselves or about our art. The truth will imprison us with its expectations.

Today is better than tomorrow. Late is better than never.
