The Art Way
This is why, when we are struck by a new piece of art, it can resonate on a deeper level. Perhaps this is the familiar, coming back to us in an unfamiliar form. Or maybe it is something unknown that we didn’t realize we were looking for. A missing piece in a puzzle that has no end.

The audience comes last. The audience doesn't know what they want. The audience only knows what's come before. - Rick Rubin
When people resonate with what you create, it means you’ve correctly diagnosed and articulated a collective idea. Successful writing is the arbitrage of capturing people’s ideas and communicating it to them before they are aware of it themselves.
To test an idea, you must build it. You can’t rely on the abstract – you have to bring it into the world to play with it feel it and only then can you judge whether it’s worth pursuing or not
