The creative process is like one wild goose chase after another. We've learned to embrace it. I was recently reminded of the famous quote from Stephen King, “Amateurs sit and wait for inspiration, the rest of us just get up and go to work.”
Great ideas are king and we fight hard for them. They feel easy when you watch them play out in their final glory but when you're making this work and your perspective of the end is dim and you don't know how to bridge the gap it can feel like reaching into the darkness and hoping you feel something you can grab ahold of. Doing good work is time consuming and hard and it's only made harder when you don't embrace the fact that this is the creative process.
The sooner you get "comfortable" with the unknown, the sooner you'll stop wandering off the road that leads to your best work.
