From the Inspirational Thought Unit
I've been pondering this thought from Photographer and writer Craig Mod as I make this Spaceship book:
“It’s easy to be seduced by the world of potentiality. A book is always greatest before it’s written. You are intoxicated by what it can be. That’s very dangerous. You want to kill those seductions as quickly as possible, and one way to achieve that is fast iteration. Make known the unknown; murder your fantasies.”
- Craig Mod
He speaks the truth. At some point you have to make your vision a reality, and that's when you realize where all the holes are. The point here is that you can get really frustrated when reality doesn't live up to expectations. The key is to make a minimum viable version of it, and then build out from there.
Don't lose sight of that original vision though!
I let the vision guide me, but I don't let it derail me.
