RE: Zen and the Art of Not Giving a F#ck

in #life8 years ago (edited)

Thats actually not true. Some of the best authors wrote their works while in the situation, not isolated in a cabin. Einstein completed his greatest works while working as a patent clerk. The idea that you just need to get out into isolation and you'll make something great is a famous wanna-be author fallacy. In fact, if you read much literature related to the creation of novels, they debunk this idea repeatedly.

Being isolated can help you focus, but if you really have the drive and that perfect idea, it won't matter if you're alone or in a crowd, you'll be focused on it.

Sort:  

I don't disagree, some of the best wrote it in the bathroom even. And some wrote it as in this case exactly as written above. One in the garage, and one in his home.

Fallacy is just a fancy word with bad intentions. I never and will ever say "ALL" writers did that because the world doesn't work that way. I even went on and gave a whole chapter about the other writers that don't do the same :) Haha

No fallacies dude, just chill... Maybe you should do like I do and not give a fuck ;)

Sending you a hug either way.
