This breakdown of creative work being about externalizing rather than expertise is so spot-on. I've found that the post-project void actually intensifies when the work was meaningful, almst like the purpose was holding everything together. The framing of creativity as lifetime job helps though, because it shifts the focus from 'am I good enoguh' to just staying in the game.
Yes! Thank you for commenting. That post-project void is bittersweet; on one hand you’re glad and relieved to finish something that was important to you. On the other hand, you’re questioning your true purpose and pondering if it’s the end… So I try to tell myself this is the beginning, and we haven’t even started yet ;)
