I found this little list on my Facebook feed earlier this week and laughed. As the work is starting to truly pile on, I find myself perpetually stuck between numbers 2 through 4. I struggle to bring the multitude of ideas rummaging through my head to fruition, while also being hyper critical of anything that I put onto paper. I have to remind myself that all creatives go through a similar swing of emotions, and as many guests speakers have said: you have to keep failing in order to improve.
1. This is awesome
2. This is tricky
3. This is shit
4. I am shit
5. This might be ok
6. This is awesome
…I have yet to experience number 6.
