Hiya Skull, do you remember which podcast that was by any chance? I'd love to hear it.
I haven't caught up with all the comments yet, but I totally agree with "fun". We force ourselves to match with someone else for no reason, and I suppose that shows in our work too. I have the same faulty thinking in all areas in my life, I set goals according to what I think I'm expected to do instead of being a normal freespirited artist who just does what she wants.
I used to think art is supposed to be fun and it's my fault that I'm not having fun because of these mistakes I do, I now think this is the same with every job. It's our responsibility to change what we don't enjoy in our lives. Even the most fun job can turn into a tedious chore if we don't know how to steer and control and mold things into what we would like them to be.
