Let\u2019s say you see a familiar musician from a globe-trotting, touring band hanging out at your local coffee shop, reading the newspaper and typing away on his laptop. This doesn\u2019t look like a musician at work. He seems approachable enough, so you ask him what exactly he\u00a0does<\/i>\u00a0all day. With a grin on his face, he admits the job might not be what you think. So you take a seat, and ask him every question you\u2019ve ever had about how it all works: the nuts and bolts of writing a song, preparing for a show, marketing a band, and the day-to-day business of a creative life.<\/p>\n
With each answer\u2014none of it about\u00a0talent<\/i>\u2014you realize this musician is a bit of a\u2026try hard. And the mystery of being a creative person isn\u2019t actually mysterious at all: it\u2019s just exploring ideas with an enthusiastic and determined curiosity. Over and over.<\/p>\n
