This is not espousing ignorance, but more an informed confidence in the state of “not knowing” in creative endeavors.
Hi Val,
I had to comment on the subject of stupidity ( I think of myself as being a bit of an expert). Recently I discovered a short film on Youtube. I had seen it before many years ago. It is a film by Gus Van Sant called Do Easy an adaptation of a short story by William Burroughs. I practice DE as I paint and find it to be quite helpful.

Thanks, Chris, I had a look, very thought-provoking. I will try “Do Easy” in finishing some grant proposals!
all the best,
V
