Welcome to the Creatively Complicated podcast, where we dive into the messiness of our creativity. Summer and Stephanie are two Americans living abroad in two different countries: Germany and China.

 In this episode we get very creatively meta. Rabbit holes take us down a technology and terminology time warp then Ira Glass sheds light on what makes the beginning of a creative project difficult. Spoiler: it is the gap between what your taste wants of the project and what you can actually do at the beginning. Then we start agonizing on how we know when we are getting better at something, if we should apologize for our known initial shortcomings and if it's better to dive into a project or take it slow and methodical. All kinds of comparisons to language learning, writing and communication methods gets involved in this discussion.
