• I prefer a one-on-one chat, a quiet place, and focused attention.

  • I plan my daily life so as to avoid crowds.

  • I hate to be busy or rushed. I like to take my time.

  • I love to walk the empty streets of neighborhoods during the day when most people are at work.

  • I am most at home, and create my best work, in solitude. In places nearly empty, wide-open or untamed in some manner.

“Sometimes, as makers of things, our direction and intention are clear to us. However, the rest of the time we rely on a gut feeling and have to work out what we’re doing as we go.”

—Sean Tucker, The Meaning in the Making
