The thing I love about sketch is sometimes it leads you as opposed to you leading it.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
A good short-story writer has an instinct for sketching in just enough background to ground the specific story.
When I teach sketch writing, there's still a beginning, middle and end.
I work on fittings, mostly. You know, I sketch less and less in my work. I sketch for the show sometimes, but then it becomes more conceptual. But when I don't sketch, it becomes more pragmatic.
You can't do sketches enough. Sketch everything and keep your curiosity fresh.
I've started running three or four times a week, which prompts millions of sketch ideas.
I used to sketch - that's the way I thought out loud. Then they made a book of my sketches, and I got self-conscious, so now I don't do it much.
The truth is, I don't sketch much at all. I have a very visual/spatial brain that retains a lot of information about maps, directions, positioning, and details, so I usually prefer working out those issues on the page itself.
I never look at my watch when I'm sketching!
When you're writing a sketch, it has to be surrounded by a situation. It can't just be out of the air.
I always craft my words to the point where I think and hope they're perfect before I ever begin sketching.
