but to really make this work, i think i have to… let go, a bit. i don’t know that i’ve ever fully bought into the “just do it” school of creative expression, because when some shit looks unfinished, it just looks unfinished.
but the flip side of that is that i’ve sat on ideas for years. and years. and, well, there’s such a thing as perfect being the enemy of jesus fucking christ, maurice, can you just put out SOMETHING?
and that’s what i want to make happen this year: less planning, more THINGS. not that i’m going to just blurt out a bunch of stuff just to have it out there; that will never be me. but there will be a lot less of waiting until everything is just “so”. a lot less needing everything to be fully fleshed out and perfect.
for that to happen, that means a lot less waiting for the “director’s cut”.
when everything’s just so. when my creative work has every single little thing to consider it complete. and then adds that wee little bit more. there’s literally entire books about characters like that, and i hate to be cliched.
……so, i’m actually going to cut here (and maybe announce: ok, enough of this “dear diary” kind of shit for some time). just plan to see more. because i have a whole lot more. thanks for sticking with me.
and with that, it’s time to start the “day job”…
