It is nice that most artists are freestyle in their attitudes. It's the professional world that I hate in those regards. Too many reports to convince me not to go professional; mostly because it's a hassle. Fortunately it seems harder to monopolize, more or less; and based on most content out there, most people are realists anyway, so imagination is still mostly free-range. While at it; I hate being professional, and being expected to be professional in-general, regardless of field or job (I'm the kind of guy that would go to a business meeting in a swimsuit and T-Shirt with messy hair and a beer and a sketch pad with music playing, instead of a business suit and fully-groomed being bored out of my skull listening to the same crap. Keeping busy and comfortable (and defined casual) keeps me focused, even if it looks like I'm not paying attention, or not giving a single fuck).
I tend to go perfectionist sometimes myself (mainly the reason behind my one-shot one-kill application method); but yeah, sometimes I just need to shut that off, even when brainstorming, and just see if I can brew a hurricane to work from.
Sorry if I tend to rant (for anyone with a problem with it), it's a habit I'm trying to knock out. I can try to give it up for Lent, while it's still early, but it's one of those more stubborn habits that going cold-turkey for 40 days isn't as simple as it sounds to fix it. However, I can always try to work on my barriers/nesting (like explaining things (while explaining things (within things))). It's the quote-pyramid of statements; just as annoying as Toady sees quote-pyramids in general; especially if you skip a beat by accident while previewing, and a whole paragraph is a sub-statement without end (by accident.
FAUX-EDIT:
I noticed I did that in the first edit; fixed it already, but I almost did exactly as my example stated.
