“As awesome as it is to be with a big act and get three catered meals a day and get a dressing room with an actual shower in it, it's hard sometimes as a new artist to come across in 25 minutes.

Why do writers assume they can just “write” with no training whatsoever-and then expect, on their first attempt, to be published internationally? What makes them think they're so much inherently greater, need so much less training than any other artists?” ThinkingNeedsWritingYearsFirstsPlayHandsMightArtistOrderFiveGreaterWeekMinutesMonthsTrainingInstrumentsAssumingFingersLipsMultipleFive MinutesGuitaristPianistFingertipsCoordinationCalluses Book:The First Five Pages: A Writer's Guide to Staying Out of the Rejection Pile Source: The First Five Pages: A Writer's Guide to Staying Out of the Rejection Pile
