Artisan or crafter? Is writing about spending time with a muse or opening up a toolbox of experience? Is editing trimming and sanding the edges for the perfect narrative, or applying timeworn ideas learned as an apprentice?
One way or other, you are taming fire. That ethereal beautiful dangerous useful fire of ideas into a story approachable by others.
Read R.S. Belchers take on the process, “Taming Fire” from Magical Words 9/25/2014:
I’m more crafter than artist, based on my other arts and Mr. Belcher’s description. Becoming a better builder of worlds through words every day is a nice goal. I’m not a setting the curtains on fire type of gal.
How about you? Artisan or crafter?
