I want to share my own experience:
*Sometimes you second guess the quality of your work, * which can be a good tool to polish up your skills.
But *if second guessing wether your work is good enough holds back your progress as an artist* (including procrastination). Understand that a revelation or epiphany only hits home once, like a joke. Your work is a part of you. You are standing too close to it. and you can't see it through someone else's eyes.
If you are unsure of the quality of your work ask for opinions. Don't tell yourself that it's not good enough. Nothing is perfect. Birds are not hatched knowing how to fly.
*You are the exception. Just Fly. Believe in your abilities and you will believe in yourself.* - Chris

It sure does! My deadline is November 30th! I'm at 49, 837 words! I'll get to 50k no problem, but I still have about 5k to 10k to finish the book. Break time. Thanks for the video. Happy NaNoWriMo everyone!

"I'm going to have a draft written - it doesn't have to be good." That flawed first draft is so valuable. It's like finding the vein of gold.

"I'm in the business of being ingenious"...brilliant!

Good to know. I'm all over the place with no deadlines set. I just block my time each day for allowed time to work on one project. Once that times up I stop and move to another project. Repeat next day. Inching each project along but damn no deadline tends to drag.

I really like his advice about setting a timer. Ever since I started practicing that habit, my productivity has accelerated. However, I’m still a very slow writer. During a two hour writing session, I only write around 100 words on average, but the words are usually of golden quality! If I didn’t care about the quality of my writing, I could probably churn out a draft in under a month, but I prioritize quality over quantity. Yes, I know I can go back and rewrite, but I’ve learned that it’s easier to get things right the first time.

I admire how prolific he is. Deadlines are important otherwise I will just wander and drown in my own imagination. Btw, I like the quality of your videos and the green background! Writers talk about the complexity and the uncertainties of being a writer and the background color somehow calms the mind :)

I am loving these interviews with Zicree.

As always, great great interviewer. Thank you thank you again for how you guide artist with questions, when he goes off on tangent. At first tangents (I'm guilty of doing myself) were lackluster but with great worded leading questions found many gems of great value.

Video title: writing begins with deadlines
Actual video: "yeah, i can type in a moving car..."

spookydonkey

I can see the result of my writing deadline ending up with reams of paper with the line "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" filling up each page. 👀

Granted, the interviewee is actually answering direct questions about himself (how, exactly, is he is expected to do otherwise), but the sheer amount of self-absorption, self-reference, and justification—however professionally-warranted—is hard to get past.

Love this! Every word is accurate 👈✨💫⚡🎬

Hah! I thought of the same idea regarding Hitler succeeding as an artist the other day. In a way it's one of the themes of "The Shining" (1980).
