Brendan McMurtry-Howlett - Thought #5 - Perseverance

Hi there, this is Brendan McMurtry-Howlett and this is my thought for the day.

I've been thinking about how much of the creative process, for me, is just about perseverance. To stick with a project, or idea, or piece of writing long enough that it stops feeling terrible and turns into something concrete that I don't feel half bad about. I run into this all the time, but I can never say exactly what it is that I do that makes a project turn the corner into something interesting and concrete, other than… I just put in enough time. I find this to be both an exhausting notion, but also an encouraging one at the same time."
