the idea behind "Embrace the Suck" was that I have often got caught up in the idea that i cannot do something if I can't do it absolutely perfectly the first time. And so I have decided to embrace the fact that, quite simply, I will suck at a lot of things that I try the first few times that I do them, and that's okay... because sometimes being creative will suck, sometimes it will be messy... and sometimes it will just become a glorious disaster (or something I want to toss across my living room)...
And so I have invited others to "Embrace the Suck" that they find in their lives, and start on the path of the Embrace the Suck Project... to write and post pictures of their creative efforts that are experimental -- those that seem like a great idea (until you start), those that turn out great, those that twist along the way... those that fail gloriously... and to see the changes in how we view creativity and creative work through the embracing of creativity despite the fact that sometimes we just SUCK at it...
