Earlier this week, Serdar explored the difference between Making Something and Making It. The two aren’t necessarily connected, and an attempt to Make It can mean doing things that go against your talent, skills, ethics, and good taste. Doing something well and getting recognized aren’t always the same thing, but seeking the recognition can distort your efforts further.
In fact, I wanted to take up the torch (and perhaps the pitchfork) and cover something related to this that faces us in our careers and our lives: Making It and Making Something are not just different, they also represent different skillets – Three of them.
Yes. Three. Let me go on.
Obviously the estate approved this. I’m not sure what to think. Come to think of it I’m not sure what Vonnegut would think.
So a few thoughts
I really didn’t see this coming. Really.
I’m not sure Vonnegut is well known enough to be a big draw, I wonder if people who read Vonnegut will be that big on this,
Could this also introduce more people to Vonnegut?
I wonder how many properties owned by estates realize – or are realizing – that this could be big money. Or authors who are “done” could find additional monetization.
Did I mentioned this weirded me out? Yeah.
