Across my work building projects - from architecture, video games, and web - I've found the creative process closely tracks how life unfolds.
Accept these ground rules:
It's a process of trial and error.
See what works.
Most often it won't work.
Repeat and keep going.
The creative process of building new things is much like life - a journey of highs and "oh shit" low moments. Learning the ground rules has helped me keep perspective, welcome its wonderful serendipity, and not take bad outcomes personally.
