What nobody tells people who are beginners… is that all of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. but there is this gap. for the first couple years you make stuff, and it’s just not that good. it’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not… your taste is why your work disappoints you… we know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. we all go through this… 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.
