So True

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 126: Ideas are worthless without hard work. The literary world is littered with the corpses of people with "ideas" who were unable or unwilling to put in the time and effort to develop them (or worse, expected someone else to do the work for them.)

I had this realization shamefully recently. I used to think my value was as the "idea guy" where I drop in - drop a wisdom - and then get out. But the reality is that it is very very very very hard to do that in a reliable-enough way and so your random ideas need to be worked and refined.

I'm rewriting the outline for my book and it's so incredibly difficult to refine and hone the outline, which is taking ideas and forming them into a cohesive flow.

The older I get, the more I think I am getting neurospicier. No idea if there is any reality to it.
