On today’s episode, we’ll begin a short series looking at some of my favorite quotes as they apply to writing.


And today’s quote is:


"If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." - Isaac Newton


Let's think together about the tension between the ideal of the creative genius and the reality of the creative process.
