    That bit about “every designer or artist has a bunch of shit ideas and just picks their best 5%” is SO TRUE. Remember this when you’re doing something creative and don’t feel great about it. Just keep doing it.

      Forget who said it, but: “Kill your darlings.”

      Photography, painting, writing, jokes. You produce a lot, you cut most of it, you gain practice along the way.

      This being said, there are people with inate genius who produce 90% gold.
