I started making dumb videos
Just to get the rust off
Greetings!
I’m not sure if an algorithm is pumping similar items towards me, or it’s just frequency illusion, or just identical thoughts from other creators here on Substack, but I’ve read a lot of uplifting posts about creating something despite nagging perfectionism.
Recently, I posted in Mika’s April advice thread, and one of the replies was good advice from Barbs Honeycutt:
Around the same time, I saw “If you think too much, you’ll never get to doing” from this Tumblr post:
So I’m taking all that advice and started making stuff. Some of which can now be found on Notes:
Just start making stuff! Start anywhere! Do it stupid!
Very inspirational! "Start anywhere" is great advice for us perfectionists - thanks!
When people ask about how I got into photography, I say something similar: I walked around my neighbourhood and took a lot of crappy photos.
