This is a great post! I restacked, and the intro message I included is this:
“This is how it works. If you are the kind of person who just sets a plan and expects to execute, it can be difficult to accept. Get over yourself, though, and you might be astonished at what emerges.”
I think this essay would be useful to an enormous number of artists. Well done, sir!
You make a very good point here, Chris, and it reminds me of something I learned in therapy, which is that even though breakthroughs feel like this bolt of lightning realization, you usually build up to them over time, brick by brick, until you reach that tipping point and finally see what was staring at you all along.
