I'm in one of those moods where things are moving really fast, at least on the inside. I've got a lot of excitement and a lot of desire to get all of the things inside, but I'm finding that's rendering me quite unintelligible.
To that end, I make this point: there is a time to act, and a time to sit still. Moreover, everything has its seasons. Some of my projects right now are in a stage where they need more preparation before they are fit for public consumption, but that feeling of wanting to improve something (ever so slightly, no perfectionism needed) can be really uncomfortable.
It can be uncomfortable to say "I have this thing I want to give to you, but I want to give it to you in a slightly more effective form. I want it to help you as much as or more than it helps me." I realize I can't necessarily know what will help you, but I want to try to make what I'm doing a little more clear and a little less mind-dump-y.
I know there's a place for vulnerability, but I also want us to be able to discuss what's going on. I guess I just don't want to be too overwhelming.
As I read this very post, I go back over and edit things, which I realize is maybe a super valuable thing to do in the creative process. At least giving these thoughts one edit so they can come out clearer.
Anyway, those are some thoughts. What are yours?
P.S
Maybe I don't have any control in how my creative process evolves, and it just evolves on its own, in time, due to many forces outside of anyone's control (and some within, if you believe in that). But that is another topic for another day.
