Before you commit

Graffiti Art

  • You need to know every piece you make is fully authorized.
  • You would rather create in a private, well-lit, comfortable space.
  • Scoping a spot and watching for who's coming would wreck your focus.

Podcasting

  • Hearing your own ums and rambling tangents played back would deter you.
  • Editing that eats four times the recording length sounds unbearable.
  • Talking into a near-silent void with no quick feedback would deflate you.
