Following up after reading „On Writing“. I am actually taking screenshots of all the passages which give a lesson in storytelling.
Stuff like: to die = eating that old dirt sandwhich (Quote from „Everything‘s eventual“ in „Everything‘s eventual, 14 dark tales“ Scribner, 2002)

3) Storytelling about the most dry / technical / boring topic works, when it is about a hero and his/her life, describing what they experience and using the biographies to make audience understand things. (In this case the hero is Stephen King and his own life is used to explain how writing works.)

2) The path to create is crippled by self-doubt and people who would exacerbate it. Carry on nevertheless is absolutely fundamental: "I have spent a good many years since – to many, I think – being ashamed about what I write... if you write, someone will try to make you feel lousy about it"

Key Takeaways from "On writing":

1) Ideas come by themselves, it can't be fabricated on demand when needed. "... good stories ideas seem to come quite literally from nowhere, sailing at you right out of the empty sky... Your job isn´t to find these ideas but to recognize them when they show up."

I think abstract painting and drawing is just remixing basic shapes and colors, allowing rationality and control to give room to intuition and chance. And this is why basically everybody can paint and draw, at least intuitively :-)

- copied colors exactly with the same order (literally next to each other) and proportions to each other they have in reality. Light and shadows are just lighter or darker values of the basic colors your subject would show if there were no particular strong light sources and consequent shadows.
