Original Advice
“DONT: Don’t research forever to avoid beginning.”
Start Before You Know How
Your research is camouflage. You call it preparation, but it’s delay dressed as discipline. Another article, another color palette, another playlist—your hands stay clean while the idea starves. The blank page is not an enemy; your refusal is. Begin poorly. Begin public. Ink on fingers, crumbs on keyboard, light failing—start anyway. Perfection is not punctual. Deadlines are.
Your mercurial mind hunts certainty like a truffle. Cataloging calms you, but art grows in conditions you can’t sanitize. Research sketches the map; making discovers the terrain. Control is a superstition. The first draft is data. Mess generates proof, feedback, angles you cannot see from the library. Begin, then refine. Precision belongs after motion, not before it.
