7. “I can see a scene in my head, and when I try to get it down in words on paper, the words are clunky; the scene is not coming across right. So frustrating. And there are days where it keeps flowing. Open the floodgates, and there it is. Pages and pages coming.”
George R. R. Martin
Writing Struggles, Creative Process, Inspiration, Flow State, Frustration, Artistic Struggle
9. “My personal experience has been that in my 25 years of writing, I have not been asked to do more than four or five commercial one-shot scripts. These were performed on major national hook-ups but produced for me no immediate additional jobs or requests. One script for BBC was done around the world with an all-star cast.” Langston Hughes Writing, Career, Challenges, Professional Experience, Artistic Struggle
10. “Of course, I also hear from critics who detest what I do, and while sometimes I feel rather proud of having made various the loathsome people or groups angry, at other times I wonder why I put up with such grief.” Orson Scott Card Criticism, Controversy, Pride, Doubt, Public Opinion, Artistic Struggle
11. “Painting and sculpture, labour and good faith, have been my ruin and I continually go from bad to worse. Better it would have been for me if I had set myself to making matches in my youth. I should not be in such distress of mind.” Michelangelo Artistic Struggle, Reflective Regret, Emotional Turmoil, Painting, Sculpture, Labour
16. “Too often in the past, we have thought of the artist as an idler and dilettante and of the lover of arts as somehow sissy and effete. We have done both an injustice. The life of the artist is, in relation to his work, stern and lonely. He has labored hard, often amid deprivation, to perfect his skill. He has turned aside from quick success in order to strip his vision of everything secondary or cheapening. His working life is marked by intense application and intense discipline.” John F. Kennedy Artistic Struggle, Cultural Injustice, Creative Work, Artist, Discipline, Struggle
