Start Ugly: The Unexpected Path to Everyday CreativityThe poet Goethe is credited as saying, "What you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it, and the work will be completed " If only it were that easy. In any creative effort, the beginning is the hard part, filled with fears and procrastinations, and often most of all the paralyzing desire to get it right on the first try (which almost never happens). Creativity is evolutionary; it begins with bad ideas
The poet Goethe is credited as saying, "What you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. Begin it, and the work will be completed "If only it were that easy.
In any creative effort, the beginning is the hard part, filled with fears and procrastinations, and---often most of all-the paralyzing desire to get it right on the first try (which almost never happens). Creativity is evolutionary; it begins with bad ideas and crappy first efforts and the moment we embrace this idea, not eschewing the ugly beginnings but mining them for possibilities, our everyday creativity flourishes.
Start Ugly is a celebration of the messy creative process and a call to face the obstacles of that process with mindfulness and humanity. This is a book for anyone who has ever wished they were "more creative." It's a plea to stop looking for the muses and inspiration before you do your best work. Equal parts needed encouragement to dream big and practical advice for getting your hands dirty, START UGLY is a soulful, at times irreverent, reminder that creativity is more the stuff of hard work and courage than it is the stuff of magic. And if there is magic at all to be found, it's in starting.

Emotional Support Lizard
Size: 15 Inch
This was my Goldendoodle puppy's first toy, and a year later, it's still his favorite. It was light enough for him to play with it at 9 pounds, but big enough that he still loves it at 40 pounds. He carries it around, slaps his brother with it, throws it and chases it, sleeps with it, etc. He enjoys his stuffies also, but he returns to this one repeatedly through the day, so I know he loves it. It's a bit discolored, but still fully intact. If you have a dog with a soft mouth who isn't prone to chewing, this toy is perfect. I've purchased extras to keep in the emergency supplies in both the house and the car.

Not for puppies or dogs who enjoy chewing toys.
Size: 25 Inch
NOT FOR PUPPIES OR CHEWERS! If you have a dog that is teething or enjoys chewing on toys for soothing this is not the toy to buy. My 4 month old ate the sneak head off and the inside plastic ball squeaker was exposed and fell out and my puppy swallowed it. I tried to take it away from him but it was too late .. he already swallowed it. This caused serious vomiting days later in my pup. I’m not likely to leave negative reviews unless I truly have a horrific experience and this toy provided just that. 0 stars.

High Quality Treat For My Dog
I bought these treats for my beagle/chihuahua mix. He's smaller than a beagle but definitely bigger than a chihuahua so they are the perfect size. He absolutely loves them and as soon as he gets one, he runs into my closet to eat it. I frequently find a rawhide stick that he has squirreled away for the future. The dog loves them so I can only assume they taste good, they are attractively packaged, the chicken looks fresh. I believe they are a high quality treat. There is very little odor, which is a good thing. I have been buying these treats for my dog for months now and will continue to buy for my pup. If you are on the fence, give them a try. I believe you and your dog will be pleased.

Will be your dogs favorite!
My dog has loved these for years! They are given to her as a “desert” after dinner. She hurries through the kibble just to get it as soon as possible, and then returns to her bowl😂
Great item and I hope it never ceases to exist!
