Super timely. I wanted to take a week to write draft copy for my new website and Deborah Hinton said “Lisa, that is WAY TOO LONG…send it to me by Wed at 5!”, Thank goodness for the Deborah’s of this world and thank goodness for you. You are great a reminding us all that we are all good enough all the time

What is also possible, is that what we perceive as our own mediocre work may well be received by OTHERS as the “good stuff”. It’s all so gloriously subjective!

Funny you should bring that aspect up. It’s pretty much been my mantra ever since I got into advertising. I remember being told by one of my teachers that in our career we would likely produce 1 to 2 awards-worthy ads, 10-15 really good ones, and hundreds and hundreds of mediocre or even bad ads. If we were really creative, we might be able to get those odds a bit higher, but probably not by much. His analogy was baseball: even the best hitters never break .400, meaning at most they hit 40% of the balls thrown at them, and of those, probably 1% (.004) are home runs. His point was not to celebrate mediocrity, of course, but to point out how much practice was needed (how many mediocre or bad ads you had to go through) to get to the good stuff.

Ohh how I LOVE this post Tanya!

“You get to choose your perspective. It can be as easy as turning the canvas around if you so desire.”

This is something I have always known, however it’s something I should write down to remind myself from time to time.

Every moment is a new chance to turn the canvas- we all have the choice.

Thanks so much for sharing and I may just quote you on it.

Sounds like the perfect Valentines Day to me.

How interesting! Someone changed your perspective FOR you…yes, that certainly would have taken me aback too. I liken that to coaching…I can help a client find a new perspective, but would feel out of integrity if I just went ahead without their permission and TOLD them which new perspective to take. But in the end, it’s cool that you did manage to find a way to make the new perspectives work for you.

Thanks for stopping by!

What a great way to spend Valentines evening, or any evening. I love it! And the different are interesting, too (I happen to share your affinity for #3). One gallerist I work with likes to rearrange my multi-paneled pieces – switching the order and orientation. At first I was a bit taken aback, but then ended up liking many of the new configurations. Gave me a fresh perspective on my own work, which is always fun.
