| Re: Good advice from Iain Banks
Just spotted this quote from Pablo Picasso, which I suppose is kind of relevant to this thread ...
"To finish a work? To finish a picture? What nonsense! To finish it means to be through with it, to kill it, to rid it of its soul, to give it its final blow, the coup de grace for the painter as well as for the picture."
Not sure if exactly the same thing can be said of writing ... but it's quite an interesting way of looking at it ... |
