The closer you get to perfection the more effort that is required

Achieving quality in storytelling requires increased efforts as one approaches perfection. Initially, significant effort yields substantial results, capturing about 80% of a story's potential. To refine this to 95%, one must exert double the effort, and the final 5% requires yet more dedication, emphasizing the escalating demands of fine-tuning. Success hinges on collaboration with skilled individuals and maintaining self-honesty about the output's quality. It’s crucial to avoid complacency with early drafts, as significant improvements can still be realized despite an initial assessment of completion.
