The Story Behind Kinndling

Creativity Isn’t a Straight Path

Some days the ideas rush in. Other days the spark feels dim.

Every creative knows the tension between momentum and doubt. I’ve lived through it as well, and Kinndling grew out of that experience. For me, it is proof that the creative struggle is shared, and that even a small spark can help us keep going.

Every tip and reminder here comes from lessons I’ve learned along the way.

My Journey

I’m Sean Fournier, a children’s book author, illustrator, designer, and songwriter. My life has always revolved around creative projects. Some made it into the world. Others stayed tucked away in sketchbooks and notebooks.

Each success and each stumble taught me something valuable. Over time I realized the most important lesson: creativity is not just about the final result. It is about staying inspired in the messy middle, where the real work and growth happen.

Kinndling is a collection of sparks from that journey. When you read a tip, you are seeing the same reminders I lean on when I get stuck.

Nature as a Muse

A walk outside or a change of scenery can shift how we see things.

Kinndling builds that inspiration into everything we make, turning the outdoors into fuel for the creative journey.
