I think his comment ties nicely in to an ongoing discussion we all have been having over the years in Hubski about the writing process and in particular, editing. It is a common phenomenon in all art forms that someone's breakout performance, album, etc. is their best work and is unattainable in the future. Why? Because that artist likely clawed, scratched, edited, rewrote, played and performed their work live for hundreds of hours before the final product. Once you, and others think you are the goose that lays the golden eggs, your work will suffer for it. Edit! Refine! Work! = good things. I know, as do many of us here that KB has been reworking a novel for many months. -wise. I personally don't edit enough of my music. I like to make it and then hand it to someone and say, "make it work." -probably not the best artistic process.And M Night Shyamalan never had to write seven drafts of anything ever again.
-...and therefore, nothing was ever as dialed in and tight again.
better than my artistic process: "Did I do this? then it's probably crap. Better not ever show anyone."I personally don't edit enough of my music. I like to make it and then hand it to someone and say, "make it work." -probably not the best artistic process.
I've never suffered from that. There have always been a few people I trusted that I would show what I created. Then, we made Hubski and all of a sudden there were thousands. I really do appreciate the feedback I received here, but even more than that I appreciate the collaborations. So fucking cool!
