I believe it all comes down to what I call, “disciplined creativity.” Specifically, having the vision, motivation and discipline to define one’s goals, figure out how to achieve them and finally to make it happen for you. Not for anyone else. For you.
As you say: it means knowing which rules to follow, which to bend, and which to ignore. Much of that knowledge comes from experience, but a lot can also come from listening and observing – which isn’t all that far from what artists (or artisans, in my case) are all about, is it?
Carpe diem.
