Let's kill our darlings.
Because, as Queen Annie Dillard says, “The path is not the work.” (The Writing Life, Dillard)
Liz and Jeremy discuss the discernment required to weigh feedback - whose matters? And which feedback is a distraction? When does a collaboration become a commission? Jeremy also recalls that time when Liz offered feedback that resulted in trashing and/or dramatic revision of 3 out of 11 of the finished collages for this project (oops!), and Liz discusses the insane number of editors required to bring this book to print. And we're tackling one of Liz’s favorite topics: audience! How do you keep the readers and viewers of your art in mind as you revise?
We also discuss the fine art collages that precede Chapters 7, 8, and 9 in the book that has inspired this podcast.
