I think it says that there's a lot of methods out there, and it actually never hurts to broaden the horizons, standing before the principles of those who had gone far ahead, and had produced outstanding results.
Absolutely. Adding to your repertoire can only help. I was only saying that it's not strictly speaking a necessary step.
the actual answer to what I and probably many others had been looking for is probably something really simple, and somewhat too obvious
I would say that just because an answer is simple, it doesn't make it something that can easily be reached. It's very true in math more often than not.
deep down I've got the feeling that many of us want to be someone special, or at least in some way. though, I think it's just some subjective generalization from mine.
I sure as hell do!
that the artists, authors included, have the ability to create an entire universe of their own, live and abode by their rules, like they're the supreme ruler or something, have such an extensive degree of freedom to explore without limits unlike in the business area where there's a lot of risk going on. kinda unrelated, but yeah, I think that's how I feel.
I agree.
