I like to work, and sometimes I do so at the expense of having fun. So when I set out to produce my own project a few months ago, I got very clear about what I wanted the process and the product to be like, and then I engineered it to be fun.
It's a little thing I work on here and there with a partner, and things are kind of crawling along, but darn it if I don't laugh out loud and slap my thigh every time we "work" on it. We're making something that we think other people will get a kick out of, but if they don't, it's ok. There's no pressure, and no deadlines except the ones we impose on ourselves. I hope the end result will be "a success" and of value to other people, but the real success will be when we finish the darn thing and have the start to finish experience of making our own stuff.
Many of your projects are so enormous, I wonder if you still make little things for fun. Things where you have room to experiment and mess up and get it wrong. Even an off-color annual holiday letter. Anything?
Best,
Laura
