“Everything creative is somewhat collaborative. If you're a painter and someone stretches your canvas, it was collaborative on some level. Ultimately I'm the writer for me, but also anytime one of my friends gets stuck with a bit, they can call me and I'm pretty good at helping them get there. I think we all work together on some level, but for the most part, we're on our own.” IfsThinkingHelpingTogetherBitsLevelsCreativeMy FriendsStuckPainterWorking TogetherCall MeCanvas Author:Ron White
“I understand that each one of us works at a different speed, and has a slightly different process. I understand that these writers are painstaking, wanting each sentence-each word-to carry weight... I know it’s not laziness, but respect for the work, and I understand from my own work that haste makes waste. But I also understand that life is short, and that in the end, none of us is prolific. The creative spark dims, and then death puts it out. William Shakespeare, for instance, hasn’t produced a new play for 400 years. That, my friends, is a long dry spell.” KnowsYearsLongDifferentEndsPlayLife IsProcessMy OwnCreativeWasteMy FriendsWeightSentencesSpeedInstanceDrySpellsSparksLazinessLife Is ShortHasteCreative SparkHaste Makes Waste Author:Stephen King
