i had an idea
i think i found the Big Idea. whatever has been cooking in my brain for the past three or four years is suddenly done, the rolling boil finally stopped, everything fading to a simmer.
it doesn’t bring together ev-er-ything i’ve been trying to connect, but it’s close, and it feels expandable.

usually, when i have an idea, i spend hours and hours planning it out as meticulously as possible. when i’m done, i’ve basically walked through the most fun parts of the project in my head, and never bring it to life.
or i spend weeks daydreaming, patting myself on the back for what a genius idea i’ve had – “who could have thought of it but you?” – and that never quite inspires action either.
this thing feels so grounded that it’s hard in a different way.

it’s like i know exactly what to do; i know exactly what i want this to look like, how i want it to feel, what it want it to do. i can sense it. the work i usually exhaust myself with has been done in the background; it almost feels like i’m running on autopilot, just making my body run the program my brain has already written.
it’s weird! and i have no choice but to follow through, but it’s all so simple that one small step every day is… working.

i reinstalled creative cloud, so you know it’s serious.
