i was going…
…to write about how I’ve not eaten any sugar or wheat for over a week now and how much better I’m feeling for it. I was going to write that, but just now I’m not feeling so great. Probably just time for an afternoon nap. The irony is I have been feeling more energetic this more »
100 things about me…
1. I’ve been thinking about doing this for a while. 2. I often think I’m someone who doesn’t finish things – this could prove me wrong (or right). 3. I live near Aberystwyth in west Wales. 4.

I'm Michael Nobbs, an artist, blogger and tea drinker (not necessarily in that order).
I'd like to show you that it is possible to stay creative even when energy is in short supply, and how working on small creative acts on a regular basis can build over time into a substantial body of work (and even a creative career).
I've written a book called Sustainable Creativity. You're welcome to pay whatever you would like for it.
Delve a little deeper by becoming a member. If you'd like to delve a little deeper into the material offered here on Sustainably Creative, find out about becoming a member.
My new book, Getting Your Important Work Done, is currently free for members to download.
