I mean in pretty much every creative pursuit, the more complicated it gets the more so there are so many decisions to make along the way, which way will the story go, does this rhyme that sounds better here but doesn't allow me to use another word in another place that would be ideal, probably the same for musical notes if any of this is valid which I don't know never really wrote songs but for example, what do you cut in edit etc etc and more. There's always one way you could have gone and well often many and you choose the one you do for whatever reason, but it doesn't necessarily mean it's the best, and there's always the possibility that it could be better. Whenever I'm writing something that requires a bit of editing, ie something entirely different than one of my blog posts I know that every time I come back and go over it I change something, sometimes I change something back to what I had before the last edit because like the aforementioned painting, it's never quite right. And so with everything else.

From what I've read and heard, even the most successful of Artists think this way too. Here is a question: when is a painting finished? Answer: never! It seems painters simply have to drag themselves away from their work at some point for fear of pressing on with it ad infinitum. I think this probably applies to all other creative pursuits too.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13855432.post-64687457721763465212017-04-10T21:41:33.114+02:002017-04-10T21:41:33.114+02:00well when you look at it that way.

In some ways, I've been quite prolific, I've written I've photographed I've acted in, I've even played music and I've done much much of most of these things. That it's generally the least effort version of any of them and the quality is whatever the quality is, some might even be good but yeah, done a lot. I think I lost whatever structure that sentence had but you might be able to keep up with some of it.Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01639879112148818986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13855432.post-3273440803690603802017-04-10T16:39:38.850+02:002017-04-10T16:39:38.850+02:00I sometimes read stuff regarding creativity, and c...I sometimes read stuff regarding creativity, and currently I'm halfway though a book, entitled, Think Like an Artist:... and Lead a More Creative, Productive Life. I know, I know, but that's just me, I've become more of a fantasiser rather than a doer, anyway... this geezer reckons Artists don't have failures, all their works are just stepping stones towards potentially better stuff. So maybe you should look at your videos in this way. Let's also get some perspective here: 50 plus movies is super-prolific when compared to the stuff I do (or should I say - don't do).
