“The aim of art is to represent not the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.” -Paul Cézanne
When you sit down to write, do you think up all the inward lessons first and then write? Or do you write first and then develop the lessons as they come? I’m working on a new novel, and I’m feeling a little frustrated in a good way about its purpose, like I haven’t found it yet. I hope it comes along soon. This one is about a woman who finds herself in a sisterhood collective, which in turn gives her this new concept of individualizing herself. I’d like this one to be more fast-paced, less about new worlds and more about action, and of course, moral obligation. But I want a lot of things when I start and they change by the 1000th edit.
