Many people swear by this book, and I have come across a good chunk of those people through my social media for you/explore feeds. They say that it will completely change your life, dissolve all of your artistic blocks.

And I’m trying not to keep such expectations, because I know that the algorithm’s purpose is to sensationalize. But I do have some hopes for what this journey could mean. By the end of these 12 weeks, I want to

• better understand what kind of an artist I am
• have acquired some skills that help me get in touch with what I’d like to express
• be more confident in myself as an artist

I finished week 1, and the biggest change I feel is that calling myself an artist doesn’t feel so awkward anymore. I believe it when I say it.
