i woke up with a thought banging around my head like a stone in a tin can.

how do parents set their kids on their creative journeys?

as a 7-year old, I remember watching my brother who was 10 pick up make his first wood carving at a class. by 13 he had a table saw and a subscription to a woodworking magazine. his shop grew to a include a router for the rounded table corners, a lathe for making wooden bowls.

my parents didn't seem to push him in that direction at all. it just took the first wood carving class.

My brother learnt to play guitar because of a video game called Rocksmith and the fact our father bought him an electric guitar to play it.

I think the creative drive is either already there or it just developes independent of skills and abilities.

I never learnt an instrument beyond being able to maintain a simple drum beat.

I enjoy making memes and telling stories however most of my creative drive goes into gardening more than anything else.
