One of the things that I think is severely underestimated is the need for discipline in creative pursuits.
We’re bombarded with ideas and imagery of the wild artist. The creative that is awoken from slumber with their great idea. The writers block or creative block that results in nothing being produced for days, weeks or months. Then suddenly they’re almost possessed by the desire to create.
I think we separate the idea of being disciplined because it seems so in contrast to the idea of creativity.
But furthermore because we often look at creativity as a natural thing that just comes to you instead if being something you have to work at.
Time, dedication and discipline of a creative pursuit isn’t always appealing but it’s necessary.
