How do you deal with being creative on demand? Zane once had a job where he every week had to come up with a different spin for an ad for a local shoe store and it was driving him mad. Thomas talks about turning out fires on a film set and how you constantly have to come up with creative solutions to practical problems. 

How do you force yourself to become creative? Have you ever been forced to be creative on command?

Paying homage in an artistic sense means acknowledging the inspiration or the influence on you.

We are all standing on the shoulders of giants who have become before us. But do you acknowledge that and should you even acknowledge it? Parody is mocking the things that have come before you, while homage honors the things that have come before you.

It is one thing to have a dream or epiphany of what you want to create. But it is an entirely different thing to get it done. There are a million ideas, but it all comes down to execution. How do you do it? 

Zane talks about collaborating and how it helps to have several partners to install accountability and be able to inspire each other when it becomes hard. 

Break the big project into smaller parts. Having too many projects is not healthy for yourself and everyone else.

Quote:

"To me, the single biggest mark of the amateur writer is a sense of hurry. Hurry to finish a manuscript, hurry to edit it, hurry to publish it. It's definitely possible to write a book in a month, leave it unedited, and watch it go off into the world and be declared a masterpiece. It happens every fifty years or so. For the rest of us, the single greatest ally we have is time. There's no page of prose in existence that its author can't improve after it's been in a drawer for a week. The same is true on the macro-level – every time I finish a story or a book, I try to put it away and forget it for as long as I can. When I return, its problems are often so obvious and easy to fix that I'm amazed I ever struggled with them. Amateur writers are usually desperate to be published, as soon as possible. And I understand that feeling – you just want it to start, your career, your next book, whatever. But I wonder how many self-published novels might have had a chance at getting bought, and finding more readers if their authors had a bit more patience with them?" -

Charles Finch (The Vanishing Man, The Last Enchantments)

In today's episode, we talk about Mental Illness. Co-host Zane shares that he has been diagnosed with Insomniac, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, Anxiety, and Depression and how that affects his workflow, creativity, and life.

Are there more people with mental illness in the creative arts? Do creative arts cause mental illness or if you have a mental illness are you more drawn to creative arts? 

Quote from Lord Byron

“We of the craft are all crazy, some are affected by gayety, others by melancholia. But all are more and less touched” 

Should we talk openly about our mental illnesses or should we try to hide them?
