Authors Dave Eggers and Jonah Lehrer discuss the cliche of the 'tortured artist', the difficulty of the creative process, and the 'grit' needed to succeed. Eggers and Lehrer participated in The Connecticut Forum's "Creative Minds" Forum on November 18, 2011 with Lyle Lovett, Miranda July and moderator Randy Cohen.
What a good guy Dave is. I love this quote, "8 hours in writing position...45 minutes of actual writing....I'm always writing something but its never the thing I'm supposed to be writing".
Jonah helps us understand so much. Love that he introduces the trait "grit" into the discussion.
