4 days: collaboration

is the most exciting, expanding, terrifying, frustrating roller-coaster. When it works, it feels like being in love. The synergy that erupts when creative visions come together, when someone else's talent opens up new worlds of possibility for your own work.

Yet it's so fraught with risk. Miscommunication. Clash of visions and standards. Different working styles. Fears, judgments, insecurities.

The last 2 weeks have been filled with collaborative tensions and conflicts. With painful discussions, negotiations, collisions of I can't work like this. I don't want to continue, if it's going to be this way

I think we turned a corner today. Came through the final crisis with a new level of understanding and openness and commitment to the process. I hope we did.
