I shared a photo taken from my cross-country road trip with The Loft for my latest guest post there. Here’s another one.
Long before Committed: A Memoir of the Artist’s Road was published, I had been sharing wisdom on the creative process I learned from artists interviewed on my 2010 cross-country road trip here on this blog. Now I’ve distilled five of them for a guest post on The Loft Literary Center’s Writer’s Block blog.
Those who have read Committed will find the examples familiar to them; they may also pick up on the fact that the last piece of advice–“Don’t wait for creativity to strike”–emerged as a narrative driver in Committed both explicitly and implicitly (through various extended metaphors) and was inspired both by people doing just that and others who, frankly, were stuck creatively, just as the narrator was.
Feel free to drop by Writer’s Block and offer your own advice!
