We're all constantly waiting for our favorite movie director to come out with their next movie, and our favorite band to come out with their next album, and our favorite fashion designer to come out with their next collection, and our favorite author to come out with their next book, and our favorite video game designer to come out with their next video game.
We're all constantly waiting on our favorite creatives to put out their next product.
And the reason for that is because art takes a long time to create.
That's it.
Art takes a lot of time to create.
And I think a lot of us know this, but I think a lot of us forget this.
I see a lot of fans online saying things to their favorite creatives like, hello, where's the next project?
Hello?
Did you forget about us?
Hello?
You're neglecting your fans.
Hello?
Are you taking us for granted?
Hello?
Are you being fucking lazy?
Where's your next creative project?
What else could you be doing with your time?
Why is it taking months to years to come out with the next thing?
What's the hold up?
And I kind of understand this frustration in a way, because although no one owes anything to anyone, technically, it's very easy to look at creatives as godlike entities.
