The 4 People Every Creator Must Be
These don’t just apply to writers, they apply to all creators (and forward-looking business people, and humble leaders, and great coaches, and etc.).
The writer must be four people:
1) The nut, the obsédé
2) The moron
3) The stylist
4) The critic
1 supplies the material; 2 lets it come out; 3 is taste; 4 is intelligence.
A great writer has all 4 but you can still be a good writer with only 1 and 2; they’re most important.
Take a look at your work today and ask which boxes you’ve checked. Then, push yourself to check all 4 next week.
Were you a little crazy?
Were you willing to stub a toe or bump your head or take a risk?
Did you make it look sexy?
Did you provide a take, unique view, or thoughtful deconstruction of some applicable position or argument?
