Unpredictable as clouds

You can stare at clouds, and most are not worth a second glance. But every so often, you spot a cloud with a shape that grabs you. You tap your friend’s shoulder and go “hey, look, that cloud looks like a thing!”. Maybe they don’t see it. Maybe they don’t care.

Just as with clouds, there are millions of movies, songs, and games that we don’t talk about. Maybe, most of them are not worth caring about.

When I started making things, I thought the hard part would be to figure out how to actually make something. Now I know that anyone can make basically anything they want, with enough practice. The real challenge is to make something a stranger will care about.

It’s easy to have ideas. It’s hard to have good ones. And you won’t really know you have one until you tap your friend’s shoulder and make them look.

Ideas are as unpredictable as clouds.
