Thank you for sharing these personal details, Monte. It's inspiring me to think about how often I've forced my square peg into a round hole. Too many people fail to recognize what their brains are telling them, or maybe aren't privileged enough to get the chance to do so, to do their best work, and live their best lives. I'm so very glad that you have gotten there so that we all get to enjoy the fruit of your labors.
Particularly helpful. Being disciplined about the creative process may feel contradictory. But it is sort of a meta discipline: a method to keep yourself stepping outside the limits of your previous solutions. It's easy to get sucked in by the safety of your own experience. Still, I feel like deadlines and budgets are quite challenging monsters inside the creative work dungeon.
