This little paragraph though, it's a real gem on its own!
"Something about creative work causes the scope of any project to explode beyond initial schedule, cost, and labor estimates, every single time. I may be especially bad at the estimates. But there may also be something unique about creative work in that the artist must reveal the project in the act of making it. Part of the effort is determining what the project isn’t. Sometimes you have to bring aspects of it into existence so you can reject them. Technique is what you put in. Art is what you leave out."
I may just need to print that out, or better yet: include it in future cost estimates with customers...
Looking forward to it...

Yes, Franklin, an awful lot of people need to grow up, and preferably get a real life.
Congrats on the fellowship. Good choice of red.
