When approaching a inventive endeavor step-by-step (or bird-by-bird as Lamott says), it permits the method to unfold with much less strain for quick outcomes—realizing that you simply don’t want all of the solutions earlier than you even begin. For my material collage course of, we take it piece-by-piece.
