'Faith and Will' sprang from my personal experience with passing through a dark spiritual time.

When writing becomes too dominant, it gets leached of its own power. We spend more and more time writing, and we have less and less to write about.
writing trying limited-time
Because if you're trying to write and you have unlimited time, you can procrastinate an unlimited account, but if you have limited time, you rush to the page trying to get something down in the little bit of fragment of time that you have, and you may write a great deal that way.
time writing perfect
We all have time to write. We have time to write the minute we are willing to write badly, to chase a dead end, to scribble a few words, to write for the hell of it instead of for the perfect and polished result.

acted art call creative fall given grew knew might mother music parents stand though
I grew up in what you might call a relentlessly creative household. We were given art supplies, music supplies... Our mother knew enough to get us started and then stand back and not meddle. My parents never said to us, 'Don't you think you'll need something to fall back on?' They acted as though creativity was completely normal.
