The Creative Habit, by Twyla Tharp

Scratching is how ideas are born. To scratch is the idea of taking concepts from around you, and making new ideas out of them. Something I have a habbit of is throwing out work when at first I don't like it. I immediatley get rid of it, but from what Ms. Tharp said, anything can spark an idea, and sifting through old work can help. I shouldn't care about what people think of my little doodles, I should keep them and learn from them, and see what I can take out of them. They can evolve into much bigger ideas and be helpful in learning from my mistakes.
