‘Thankfully, persistence is a great substitute for talent’

Rob Conery, referencing Steve Martin and his recent Apple TV documentary, notes that journaling is a major part of his craft:

He talks about his journaling process a lot in his various biographies and documentaries, but, in short: it’s a tool he uses to reflect and improve.

I’ve had that documentary on my radar and I’m more excited to watch it now. For Rob’s essay, I feel like it’s a great reminder about the importance of documenting as you go and taking that time to reflect.
