Fresh, original, never been done before ideas...
I love coming up with 'em. We all do. It’s exciting. Especially when we think that we're on to something special.
In the past, I'd usually run around telling people my thoughts. We'd discuss them inside out. But then by the time we were done all the excitement was gone and I've move on. It didn’t occur to me what I was doing.
Then I heard this quote by Francis Ford Coppola:
"If you're planning on writing something and you talk about it, you tend to let the air out of the tires and you don't write."
Coppola produced The Godfather. You don’t question the man behind The Godfather.
Protect those tires, baby. Instead of rambling on about how cool your idea WOULD be, spend that energy trying to make it happen. That's Sprezzatura.

My friend Vicky Puzo's grandpa, Mario Puzo, wrote the Godfather. She did not have to buy her own car in High School.
