I’ve been compiling a list of all the things that I know I should be doing in order to be successful as an artist as a writer. I am usually not a fan of self-help steps. In fact, I think they are destroying the country. But given the chance, I sell out. And so I present my list of the Top 5 Things Every Artist Needs. You have to pay me for looking at this, by the way.
Listening. That’s what it means to wrangle thoughts. I can’t control them, I can only listen to them and let them take me where I need to go. I need to listen to what my heart is saying. If I don’t do that, how can I expect to create anything of worth? Creation requires a divine spark. If I am not listening to the still, small voice, how will I get a flame going?
