This book is so hard to read. This is like cryptic English. I think that it says the world gives us signs to how to counter our art or inspires it in a way. And that artists live, and use living to make art?

Something stood out to me in this reading session. It’s called how to choose. It was talking about how when there is multiple choices how to pick. It talked about AB testing and the coin flip test and which one you actually want to happen seeps out more. And how not to worry about all the possibilities because you have nothing to compare it to. There’s no what if because it has to happen parallel.

We talked about the creative process. Things such as breaking the rules and just trying something new. Uhh we talked about the experimenter and the finisher and how one takes a while to try things and the other pushes things out.

We talked about seeds. And how we’ll find seeds of inspiration and not sure which is right to try and put more attention into. But also that if we collect more seeds that we will have a better chance and opportunity to pick one that is right for us
