I have been inspired by accomplished graphic artist, children's author and nice-guy extraordinaire, Joshua Mowll. His lecture about the technicalities of the writing process was engaging, insightful and very refreshing.
There is a balance, he explained, between free creativity and disciplined focus. A serious writer should invite months of solitary confinement with a brain full of ideas and a bin full of redrafts. Also necessary is a realistic understanding of the impatient publishing market... apparently, it isn't as sweet and fluffy as I always hoped.
The lecture encouraged me to think about writing from a serious and determined viewpoint. In this way, Joshua invited everybody to consider themselves as serious and determined writers, which was a rather special feeling.
