In episode 18 of Originate Now, Jessica Higgins Chapman discusses the often lengthy and long road to finishing creative work — why it takes time, why that’s not a bad thing, the significance of defining success beyond immediate outcomes, and how to make peace with the pace of your own creative journey.

Whether you're writing a script, building a brand, or reshaping your creative identity… the finish line can feel far away. And that’s okay. Creativity is a long game — and your success unfolds over time.

Today, we explore what creative success really looks like, how to stay grounded when progress feels slow, and how to find more meaning (and momentum) in the in-between.

In This Episode, Jess Discusses:

  • How to trust the long road instead of comparing your pace to others
  • The mindset shift from racing, to finishing with rhythm and consistency
  • What real creative success looks like beyond recognition or sales
  • Practical ways to stay motivated when the finish line feels far away
  • The importance of building a body of work and developing your unique voice
  • Why you’re not behind — and how to honor the season you’re in
