The act of bringing anything into the world, of taking an idea and making it real, means bringing it from the state of absolute perfection in your mind into a state of relative imperfection in reality. Every novel or painting is like this: perfect in the maker’s mind, but imperfectly realized. You can look at this as a mistake or simply as an opportunity to engage—because it’s through the making of mistakes that we are able to live creative lives.
