success
I've often talked about tools and constraints and how limitations can help drive creativity, but sometimes it's good to remember that it's a balance after all. This week I bought some new pens and as reminded just how nice it is to use a pen that's full of ink and hasn't had its nib damaged from use. Turns out there's value to be found on every point of the spectrum.
Since starting this thing I've managed to finish off three sketch books, and I'm about to run out of space in another. Most had already been started, so it's not like I started on a blank slate, but it seems like some kind of accomplishment. I suppose the accumulation of results can often feel like success, even if there's little to no value in the literal substance of the outcomes. So this week I've been thinking about success and how we determine whether or not we have been successful.
