You Don't Suck at Making Things

John has been my favourite youtuber for ages. The way he talks about stuff really resonates with me, and this vid about why it's hard creating things and feeling like they are good enough hit the nail in the head. If you are a writer/game developer or you do creative work of any kind, you might appreciate what he has to say.

i want to talk a little bit about what it’s like making a podcast every week. back when we started this thing, it was a way to pad out the time between video releases (lol) but then we realized that creating a weekly podcast is way easier than doing monthly videos. it’s also more rewarding, in its way; you get to see new reactions every week. some stuff hits harder than others for different audience members, and that’s good.

we try to keep our programming eclectic. it’s a double-edged sword; there’s some people who just listen for one type of content who get cranky when we’re not focusing on the stuff they like most. but our hope is that by casting a wide net, we also capture a broader audience, and hopefully one that’s interested in engaging with the same ideas that fascinate us.

the most fulfilling thing about doing the show is hearing about how it’s affected people. one fun example recently was when a popular webcomic by @maximumgraves mentioned odyssey, and it turns out he heard about it through us. we feel humbled that the work we do has an impact on other people’s creative output and perspective. we’ve also heard that listening to our show helps some of you feel less alone in the world. we’re glad we can do that for you.

anyway i’m hopped up on too much caffeine and had to get some thoughts out, so thanks for listening to our show and reading this post

love, josh

As an author, I get to create people, worlds, and ideas that haven’t existed before. It’s a long and traumatic process, but it’s also completely worth it.
