You mean I can’t open a blank document and find a beautifully constructed tea pot? Great analogy. It is so true. The leeway we give to other artists we refuse to give ourselves.

Yeah - maybe it's becaue the process is in our heads instead of with our hands that we think we can just spool it out perfectly?

Anyway, it's something that gets us stuck. But more leeway as you say is exactly right. Give ourselves permission to get it wrong the first time so we can eventually get it right.

Glad you like the teapot analogy -- thanks, Mary!
