To dismiss an idea because it doesn’t work in your mind is to do a disservice to the art. The only way to truly know if any idea works is to test it. And if you’re looking for the best idea, test everything.

If you think, “I don’t like it but someone else will,” you are not making art for yourself.

Sometimes the mistakes are what makes a work great.

In terms of priority, inspiration comes first. You come next. The audience comes last.
