Bil Hood
a creative direction

Any activity becomes creative when the doer cares about doing it right, or better.

- John Updike
Make a careful exploration of who you are and the work you have been given, and then sink yourself into that. Each of you must take responsibility for doing the creative best you can with your own life
- Gal 6.4-5
