Description

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.

Worked perfectly for a long, cold run!
Color: (001) Black / Black / Reflective, Size: Medium
These worked perfectly! They aren’t the warmest but do the job for long cold runs in Texas. I ran a half marathon in 40 degree weather with these on and they kept me warm. They are a bit smaller in size, similar to what other reviewers have said. But I’m a small woman with small hands so the size medium I ordered were perfect. They were warm enough that I took them off at about mile 6. So overall, I’d definitely recommend for a light coverage, snug fit, glove.

Decent UA gloves pricey for the quality
Color: (001) Black / Black / Reflective, Size: Large
The thickness isn’t what I thought it would be. They’re ok for warmth as long as it isn’t single digits or in the negatives. They’re durable so far and grip is good. The size and fit are good for smaller to medium sized hands. It is also good for pressing your phone screen.

Great morning run gloves
Color: (001) Black / Black / Reflective, Size: Large
Absolutely love these gloves and they are perfect for a fall morning run or as an extra layer inside a mitten I have noticed under armour gloves seem to run slightly small but the large fit ne perfect and id consider my hand a little on the smaller side these fit perfectly snug
