Resistance Is Implacable, Intractable, Indefatigable.

Artists, Writers And People In Creative Fields Are Entrepreneurs By Necessity. Nobody Gives Them A Paycheck Or Picks Up Their Medical Insurance. The Ones Who Succeed Learn To Think And Act Like 'independent Operators.' I Think People Who Are Technically 'employees' Have To Think This Way As Well. The Company Is Not Looking Out For You.

The Part We Create From Can't Be Touched By Anything Our Parents Did, Or Society Did. That Part Is Unsullied, Uncorrupted; Soundproof, Waterproof, And Bulletproof. In Fact, The More Troubles We've Got, The Better And Richer That Part Becomes.

It Is A Commonplace Among Artists And Children At Play That They're Not Aware Of Time Or Solitude While They're Chasing Their Vision. The Hours Fly. The Sculptress And The Tree-climbing Tyke Both Look Up Blinking When Mom Calls, 'suppertime!'

You Are A Writer When You Tell Yourself You Are. No One Else's Opinion Matters. Screw Them. You Are When You Say You Are.

No Matter How Great A Writer, Artist, Or Entrepreneur, He Is A Mortal, He Is Fallible. He Is Not Proof Against Resistance. He Will Drop The Ball; He Will Crash. That’s Why They Call It Rewriting.
