I took several screenshots so I’d remember some nuggets that really resonated! I’m working on illustrating my first picture book for a client, and the idea of ‘composing an illustration like a visual sentence’ is a helpful way of putting my goal into focus.

I also enjoyed reading your thoughts on seeking pain over pleasure. I believe in the idea of 50/50 - there’s always going to be both pleasure and pain in our lives. One doesn’t exist without the other. The idea of seeking out/leaning into discomfort is a really interesting take on that and something I’ll be thinking more about

I like this format! The pleasure/pain balance resonated with me. I am almost at the end of a challenge I set for myself. I don't know if it, in itself, would be a "pain", but within each part are oscillating pleasure/pain areas.
