"Everything a writer learns about the art or craft of fiction takes just a little away from his need or desire to write at all. In the end he knows all the tricks and has nothing to say "
- Raymond Chandler
Words of wisdom from the master. My i remain more passionate than trained. I have spent my life tip typing on one form or another, mostly film and advertising and luckily my dyslexic nature has saved me from ever know too much. True knowledge is knowing the right questions, not the right answers.
On a game show the answers help, but in life and art they are much less interesting than the questions.
Deep questions are hard to answer in a quick sound bight, so I often slip into lazy ones like "What do you do for a living?" And think that will tell me dick about another human. None of us are defined by our jobs, if we were we would be fucked.
