Given the popularity (notariety) of this, I feel compelled to point out I did not make it and cannot credit who did. Sorry. It was stolen from a similarly uncredited place.
Nor did I think of it and tell someone.
PJ "Vote Green" Coffey@gramjoeldavies That's very relatable content!
Eryn with a Y@gramjoeldavies I feel personally attacked 🤣
Michelle Markel@gramjoeldavies My dad's credo was Don't Talk About it - Do It. Exposing ideas can destroy the creative magic.
@mgmarkel I've had that experience of enthusing too soon and then, dunno, maybe the body feels like it's already done it or something but the impetus leaves me.
@gramjoeldavies Exactly! Dispels some of the energy. OK for obvious pipe dreams. Fun to tell your friends about the screenplay you'll never write. At least it's alive for a few minutes, in that conversation.
@mgmarkel I think it's important to be really careful even about sharing drafts, at first, except maybe with trusted mentors or workshop colleagues.
@gramjoeldavies If you're committed to the work, absolutely!
stefandieban@gramjoeldavies this exact my way of drawing😂😂😂
Grundbulten@gramjoeldavies I'd like to ad "get burnt-out" there somewhere
kulupu Kemeten@gramjoeldavies How dare you observe me
akesi waso Komesase@gramjoeldavies as a writer, i agree
Aoikurayami@gramjoeldavies
Yes.
Cause the brain equates
"Talking about project"
with
"Finish Project"
Yes.
Cause the brain equates
"Talking about project"
with
"Finish Project"
@aoikurayami That's exactly it. Like, when I think really hard about doing the washing up.

LeaLeaLea@gramjoeldavies yeah that seems to track lol
Sammi@gramjoeldavies Hangs head in shame...

Alan Langford 🇨🇦🧤🧊摏@gramjoeldavies Missing here is the critical "spend days/weeks/months on project" step. Also "register domain for project" 😂
dubmill@gramjoeldavies Nice. For me, it would be more Get new idea-->Start new project-->Get new idea. There are few people I could tell, plus I tend to want to keep things secret. Don't know why, because at the same time I crave attention and validation.
razumny@gramjoeldavies I am in this picture, and I don't like it.
Gerwin Bijsterbosch@gramjoeldavies I usually just skip the "Start new project" step. Saves a lot of time.
@Gerwin030 rofl. Efficient!
Jelle Haandrikman 🇪🇺🇺🇦🇵🇸@gramjoeldavies The trick is not telling anyone until you need help.

Giles GoatThat's precisely why I have the habit never to tell about ideas/projects but only show the finished things.
Also can't stand the "I'd do it this way" or "you should do it like this" :D ...

Lunar 🛸 ♾@gramjoeldavies This is why I usually skip the "tell everyone" stage...!
Sci Fi Brickyards 🚀@gramjoeldavies it's the tell everyone bit that hurts so much 😭
kristophr@gramjoeldavies I’m in this picture and I don’t like it.
AlexTheRetroChicken@gramjoeldavies I hate how accurate this is
JPeck@gramjoeldavies yep, this checks out
ideaPDishWhere is the yak, for shaving?
Violet Housewife@gramjoeldavies it's actually a very sound methodology if you, like me, tend to have lots of ideas that are just garbage.
