When I begin a project, I approach it with the energy of the Fool–I’m excited and starry-eyed, idealistic about the journey and almost radically hopeful for what it will bring. There comes a time, however (usually after a few bumps in the road and facing the enormity of what I’m up against), that I’m forced to…
