I have a huge editor in my head who's always making me miserable. But sometimes, I try to let my unconscious act out.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I go into the studio, I completely detach. I let my emotions come out.
I have an adult emotional life and an editing system inside me which prevents me from being preposterously stupid.
One should fight like the devil the temptation to think well of editors. They are all, without exception - at least some of the time, incompetent or crazy.
I have great editors, and I always have. Somehow, great editors ask the right questions or pose things to you that get you to write better. It's a dance between you, your characters, and your editor.
I can't deal with actors! I can't deal with myself. We're neurotic and miserable ... I love doing what I'm doing, but while I'm doing it, I'm miserable.
If you continually write and read yourself as a fiction, you can change what's crushing you.
In my experience, with very few exceptions - I am, as it happens, one of the exceptions - the one thing that most editors don't want to do is edit. It's not nearly as conducive to a successful career as having lunch out with important agents or going to meetings where you get noticed.
When I write, I can become this ecstatic, crazy fellow, hearing the voices and just loosening up and letting them grow.
I felt like I had a really bad case of writer's block... Music is so therapeutic for me that if I can't get it out, I start feeling bad about myself - a lot of self-loathing.
An Editor becomes kind of your mother. You expect love and encouragement from an Editor.
