1. Courtney

Her comment: "It's about the process, the journey, so enjoy it. Not just the product."

2. Lauren Pfeiffer

Her comment: "You can't put a time limit on creativity. I've found myself at times trying to put an ultimatum on tasks, but you have to be patient and not rush into things. Let it happen unforced."

3. Meg Garner

Her comment: "From Donald Miller's blog: As a creator, you are a teacher, a role model, you are setting the moral compass of every person who interacts with your work. There are many parents who shirk their responsibility to parent, mostly because they fear the responsibility. It’s the same with some creators. They create, but then do not take responsibility for what they are doing.

That said, whatever it is you are angry about, and hopefully it is an injustice, is addressed by your positive creativity, and it’s perfectly find to acknowledge this dynamic. What you are doing, when you create something good rather than something bitter and reactionary, is displacing whatever it is that made you angry. The public only has a consciousness so big, and when you create something good, and it gets into the public consciousness, there’s less room for whatever it is that made you angry. So go and create something good, and displace whatever it is that is pissing you off."

4. Mary

Her comment: "Surround yourself with things that inspire. And don't read poorly written books!!"

SO many great pieces of wisdom and inspiration in the comments--if you're feeling stuck, take a second to read through them.

And for the winners: send an email through here with your mailing address, and you'll get your book and posters soon. Congratulations!

We've got some more fun giveaways planned this spring--another book, some more art. All kinds of good stuff.

Have a great week! XO
