We are going to take a not so subtle break from the inspirational stuff and tackle some of my grievances of being a creative and some of the things I wish people would know.

1. It’s easy 

- many people only see the finished product

- story from picasso drawing in coffee shop

- Surround content all the time people think they could do that (tell difference between low and high quality)

2. It’s fun so you shouldn’t get bored 

- not the case, can’t just turn creativity on

- drawing inspiration from other places

3. Unreasonable about deadlines/Understanding whole process

- understanding of every step involve 

- slow time and fast times, getting into that flow state

- Harder for creatives to work on a project they don't believe in

4.All of it is the same in an industry

- photography: portrait, event, landscape

- Emily is video editor (think that she can also film, direct, color, audio capture, etc.)

5. Cost

- getting paid for my value, not your budget

- custom industry 

- online is mass produced (licenses for music and stock images/footage)

Recap 5 pet peeves, back to the uplifting stuff. Just needed to get it off of my chest. In the comments mention if this is something you struggle with as well.
