I've just realized I'm approaching 1,000 visual posts and threads today. If each post takes around 3 hours to complete, that's about 3,000 hours, or roughly 125 days, spent creating over the past three years (when this account was created) and not including non-visual posts. Yet, I still find myself lacking in many areas. I am continuously learning and experimenting even now. There are no shortcuts to mastery; it requires everything you have to become the best in your field. For new creators, keep experimenting, creating, and find your flow state if you want to excel.
