(Assumption correct)
Yeah I simply dont think I can relate to people who willingly don't want to spend their whole lives learning and growing alongside their craft. What's the point otherwise? The creation lives in the context of the process.

The process is the point!!!!! Learning the structure gives you the space to work in it. And then without it, if you want!!

I'm still trying to find the spark that had me doing whole arrangements overnight, the creative drive that said "sure, lets write a whole concerto for my (not required!) final recital!"

I will not willingly engage with people who look at that journey and decide they should skip it.
