The truth about creativity is...
You have to finish the thing and share it
for its full power to activate.

Until then, it stays in a kind of limbo.
It may be beautiful. Important. Magical.
But unfinished work can’t ripple outward.
It can’t reach.
It can’t return.

While I was still creating The Patchwork Girl, new ideas were already arriving.
A new book. A course. Workshops. Parties.
They came fluttering in like small, strange creatures curious and insistent.
And tempting.
I could feel myself wanting to follow them.

But I knew: this was the work.
This was the one I needed to finish first.

So I wrote the new ideas down, as they arrived.
Gently. Lovingly.
And then I tucked them away for a nap.
Not gone. Just waiting.
Because finishing The Patchwork Girl was the primary gateway for me.

And I was right.

Since the completion party, even before the book is fully published, the ripples have already started:

A friend called about co-creating a workshop connected to the book.
Someone else asked when the next party would be.
People are reaching out, asking to buy copies, asking to share it with others.
Trying to share it already.

It’s like a signal has gone out: the thing is real now.

And when you finish a creation, you change the shape of what's possible next.

There’s a before and after.
You feel it.
And the world does too.
