PIXAR
I, like many of you artists out there, constantly shift between two states. The first (and far more
preferable of the two) is white-hot, "in the zone" seat-of-the-pants, firing on all cylinders creative
mode. This is when you lay your pen down and the ideas pour out like wine from a royal chalice! This
happens about 3% of the time.
In a word: PERSIST.
PERSIST on telling your story. PERSIST on reaching your audience. PERSIST on staying true to your
vision. Remember what Peter Jackson said, "Pain is temporary. Film is forever." And he of all people
should know.
So next time you hit writer's block, or your computer crashes and you lose an entire night's work
because you didn't hit save (always hit save), just remember: you're never far from that next burst of
divine creativity. Work through that 97% of murky abyssmal mediocrity to get to that 3% which
everyone will remember you for!
