Happy Holidays

NOBODY TELLS THIS TO PEOPLE WHO ARE BEGINNERS.

I wish someone told me. All of us do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste.

But there is this gap.

For the first few years you make stuff, it's just not that good. It's trying to be good, it has potential, but its not,but your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer and your taste is why your work disappoints you.

A lot of people never get past this phase. They quit.

Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn't have this special thing that we want it to have.

We all go through this.

And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work.

Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one task.

It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap.

And your work will be as good as your ambitions.

And I took longer to figure out how to do this that anyone I have met.

It's gonna take a while. It's normal to take awhile.

You have gotta fight your way through.

Its been a good good year. Granted I am still sitting in my office typing away as I listen to some Joyous Celebration while I wind up. I have so much to thank God for.

When I started blogging it was just something I did out of fun but I have met so many people and even found myself in the fashion section of several newspapers. I remember once my mother shouting on top of her voice for me to come down stairs and see a picture of myself in the paper. If I got on the paper then there is something I must be doing right.
