This made me think of Rob Kuntz

I read an article that quoted The Myths of Innovation by Scott Berkun.

The dirty little secret – the fact often denied – is that unlike the mythical epiphany, real creation is sloppy. Discovery is messy; exploration is dangerous. No one knows what he’s going to get when he is being creative.

and

Creative work cannot fit neatly into plans, budgets, and schedules. Magellan, Lewis and Clark, and Captain Kirk were all sent on missions into the unknown with clear understanding that they might not return with anything, or even return at all.

These things made me think of you, Rob and reminded me of how much I am looking forward to reading your books.

Dave Arneson's True Genius, the book, was sent to the printer in the USA 2 days ago and will be available in 7-10 days. I am doing a lengthy post on it which I will post here and elsewhere. In it I note that Arneson started the "Journey into the Unknown" that we, at least some of us, are still upon.
