Let’s talk about making 2025 the year your art takes center stage—without the stress, without the pressure, and with plenty of room for creativity (and maybe a little bit of paint in your hair).
New Year’s resolutions aren’t just for fitness buffs and self-improvement junkies. Artists and writers need goals, too! Whether you’re wielding a paintbrush, scribbling in a notebook, or snapping the perfect photo, setting intentions can help you push past creative roadblocks and actually finish those projects you swore you’d get to last year.
But now it is March and we all (including me) need to get moving because lets face it resolutions were made month ago… are you following them?
So before we dive into all the exciting things you will accomplish, let’s take a moment to reflect. What worked for you in 2023? Maybe you finally tried oil painting, experimented with a new poetry format, or sold your first piece. Yay, you! Now, what didn’t work? (Be honest—was it that overly ambitious daily journaling goal that lasted, um, three days?) Reflection isn’t about beating yourself up; it’s about seeing what lit you up and what didn’t, so you can fine-tune your creative journey.
Take my friend, for example. She realized she absolutely loves painting mini canvases—tiny, colorful pieces that fit in the palm of your hand. So, this year, she’s doubling down on her mini-art magic, exploring new techniques, and embracing what brings her joy. That’s the secret: find what excites you and lean into it.
Now, let’s talk about action. Pick one creative goal for March—just one. Keep it doable, fun, and something that gets you excited to create. Maybe it’s sketching every morning with your coffee, finally submitting that short story to a magazine, or learning a new digital art tool. No pressure, just progress.
And here’s the slightly terrifying but oh-so-important part: share your work. I know, I know—putting your art out there can feel like standing in front of a crowd in your pajamas. But guess what? The more you share, the more confident you’ll become. Start small—post that painting online, read your poem to a friend, or display your work in a cozy corner of your home. Perfection isn’t the goal—expression is.
March isn’t just another month; it’s the beginning of your next chapter. So go ahead—set your goals, make your plan, and most importantly, share your unique creative voice with the world. Your art matters. Your words matter. And 2025? It’s yours for the making
