In a world that often tells creatives to shrink, toughen up, or conform, Fonseca offers a powerful alternative: listen deeply, lean into intensity, and allow art to flow from authenticity rather than fear. Blending personal storytelling with reflective practices, Nevertheless, Create is both a meditation and a call to action.
The book unfolds in three parts–Root, Burn, and Breathe–each designed to help readers reconnect with themselves. Root grounds the artist in truth and belonging. Burn explores passion, pain, and the transformative power of creativity. Breathe reminds us of the necessity of silence, reflection, and renewal. Together, these sections form a compassionate roadmap for anyone who has struggled with creative resistance, burnout, or self-doubt.
“Creativity doesn’t require fearlessness,” Fonseca notes. “It simply requires presence–the willingness to begin, even when it feels messy, uncertain, or overwhelming.”
With her signature blend of warmth and honesty, Fonseca speaks directly to deep-feeling creatives who often experience their emotions and intensity as “too much.” Rather than seeing these traits as liabilities, Nevertheless, Create reframes them as essential gifts that fuel artistry and connection.
Perfect for writers, painters, musicians, and all makers, this book is a companion for those ready to move beyond perfectionism and pressure. It encourages readers to find rhythm in both silence and expression, to honor their sensitivity, and to trust the small daily practice of showing up.
Nevertheless, Create: Art, Intensity, and the Practice of Showing Up is now available on Amazon in Kindle and paperback editions.
