so I've been playing with this “tapestry metaphor” lately. It’s another way to explain how i'm creating my new work (and life).
it’s not a case of “i have a clear vision of the business model, and i know exactly what i’m going to build/create, and then i just have to go do it.” nope, that’d be too easy.
and, i’d land back in doing something i already know, vs creating something really new and unique.
my approach today is more like “i know what i want it to feel like and some aspects of it, but i don’t know yet what it’s going to look like in the end” (not that there's ever an end).
so, i go about my days, finding or picking up random strings here and there, then putting them together to see if and how they fit together. + i have no idea how long this will take.
i’ve meeting with an old friend like Brian Flynn. as we reconnect and talk: about different ideas, projects, hobbies, people, something may ‘click’ and i’ll think “ah, another string to throw in the collection.”
huh - ever had one of those weird synchronicity moments? I just had one writing this. It’s funny that the marketing person who is helping me, well - her (nick)name is “String”!
