Public radio icon Ira Glass has a famous quote describing the gap between taste and talent in trying to hone your creative work. When you start out, your tastes are always bigger than your skill. It's a frustrating gap, and one that causes a lot of people to give up.In this episode we talk about everything that plays a part in the taste-skill gap. From personal energy and health, to money, ability, mood, and your relationship to the project as a whole. We talk about how our changing tastes have made our recent work all the more challenging.EPISODE MENTIONS:Ira Glass on the taste-talent gap: https://youtu.be/91FQKciKfHI?si=2PxIFIGoOwWvM7tyChris Ware's Building Stories: https://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/21/books/review/building-stories-by-chris-ware.htmlDesign Doc episode 49, Imperfect Inspiration: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/imperfect-inspiration/id1298080097?i=1000570727332LINKS/CREDITWebsite: turtlebun.comPatreon: patreon.com/turtlebunDesign Doc intro/outro theme by Pat KingGET IN TOUCH:Designdocpod (at) gmail (dot) comJoin the Turtlebun Discord! https://discord.gg/XD4WVDjvbzInstagram: instagram.com/turtleandbunTurtlebun Twitter: twitter.com/turtleandbunDesign Doc on Twitter: twitter.com/designdocpod
