I'm a big fan of writer Matt Nix and his TV series Burn Notice. Not all of these are verbatim comments. Some are those of Matt Nix, but some are my own loosely paraphrased version of remarks from his TEDx talk.
- Love your work unconditionally
- Learn to love your art, even if it doesn't love you back.
- Don't write what you know, write to express who you are.
- Figure out how much work you can reasonably do in a week. Double it. Double it again.
- The readers you fear are your creative partners. They are the stick. Share your work with people you fear.
- You don't choose your voice. Your creative voice is, like your speaking voice, one that can change between adolescence and adulthood. You have to work on it and develop it.
- Think of your creativity as an electronic box that simply says to you: shut up and feed me.
