We are going to take a not so subtle break from the inspirational stuff and tackle some of my grievances of being a creative and some of the things I wish people would know.

1. It’s easy 

2. many people only see the finished product

3. story from picasso drawing in coffee shop

4. Surround content all the time people think they could do that (tell difference between low and high quality)

5. It’s fun so you shouldn’t get bored 

6. not the case, can’t just turn creativity on

7. drawing inspiration from other places

8. Unreasonable about deadlines/Understanding whole process

9. understanding of every step involve 

10. slow time and fast times, getting into that flow state

11. Harder for creatives to work on a project they don't believe in

4.All of it is the same in an industry

• photography: portrait, event, landscape

• Emily is video editor (think that she can also film, direct, color, audio capture, etc.)

• Cost

• getting paid for my value, not your budget

• custom industry 

• online is mass produced (licenses for music and stock images/footage)

Recap 5 pet peeves, back to the uplifting stuff. Just needed to get it off of my chest. In the comments mention if this is something you struggle with as well.
