RE: The Beautiful Affliction (Writers Writing on Writing)
I really liked this essay. Thanks for the peek into the life of a writer and artist. In short, that magnum opus is supported by a pile of turds?
Often, yeah. It's depressing to think about, because it lends credence to the Outliers precept that anyone can become an expert with 10,000 hours of practice or 10,000 crappy sketches or 10,000 shitty pages, but it does mean that skill has to be refined and honed.
And it still might end up crap. :)
