You have to pay attention to the work on the page and make it as good as possible because it could be your last.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Spend more time working before you write page one. Then, the story - at least parts of it - will feel as though it is writing itself.
The important thing for me as an artist is to keep going back to the page and doing what I do.
As a writer, putting words on the page is how I pay attention.
Write a page a day. It will add up.
The way you get better is putting words on the page and getting them behind you.
And once I know what the first page is, then the rest will come.
It's hard for me to show work while I'm writing, because other people's comments will influence what happens.
If somebody has a better idea than me, I'll take it if it surpasses what we have on the page because at the end of the day, it's me that takes the credit anyway!
Fill your pages with details. Work hard to get the right word.
Keep writing. Try to do a little bit every day, even if the result looks like crap. Getting from page four to page five is more important than spending three weeks getting page four perfect.
