Last night, I streamed the movie High Art. This was a definite smart move on Ally Sheedy's part to play the character of Lucy - a photographer who apparently became a big deal, but gave it up. As she bemoaned to her future love interest Sidney, she didn't do industry work any more because it made her feel claustrophobic. That everyone was just glomming on to this thing (her work), so she made it impossible for her to continue working. In other words, self sabotage.
This made me think about how many times I've sabotaged myself when it comes to my own work. I think that at some point during anyone's career, you will lay out your own booby trap. And eventually step into it.
