If you're a multifaceted creative, these labels can be a little tricky. Here’s one way to look at them – and why they may or may not be the right fit right now.
Thanks for sharing this Jess, such a great perspective and way of looking at creative labels! I can absolutely comfortably claim all the actions - I am doing xyz- so much more comfortable than I am a writer etc. Great read 💛💛
Thank you so much for giving it a read, Emily! 💗 It's great to be able to comfortably "own" some kind of descriptions of what we do, isn't it? I know for me being able to say to myself, "I'm doing X" encourages me to keep on doing it!
You hit the nail on the head in how you differentiated the "ing" activity from the "er" person. Also, the "er" person considers the label as part of their identity. I can paint, but there is no way I'd consider myself a painter.
