"Some people don't understand the iterative nature of art, design and game design."

"Instead, they try to reach the final version on the first try and get frustrated when it's not as good as they thought."

"Aim for the best you can, but know that you will have to iterate, work on it again. Know that it'll get better on the next step!"

"The best way to learn is to just go out and make stuff, collaborate with people who are better than you at different things, and experiment."

"That's what I've found, at least. Just be around people who are awesome and learn off them. Trade ideas around and try stuff."

"Everything I do, I've learned from friends, collaborators, people I look up to, and personal experiments. Just going out and trying stuff."

The year and a few months that I've spent working for a start-up were actually a pretty gloomy time for me, both for professional and personal reasons. It took me a while to get out of this hole and start thinking positive again.

I think about lots of things but when it comes down to writing them, drawing them, implementing them, it's not that easy. Even with years of practice in each of these trades, it's still an uphill battle.

Which is why I am not going to read that article after I wrote it and will go straight to publication.
