S2 E148: The Dark Side of Guilt, Pride and Perfection in the Art World

By outlining and speaking to some of the major contributing factors to a writer's creative funk we seek to lessen the negative impact and therefore help restore productivity and a sense of belonging once more.   Guilt -- parental, martial, sexual, racial   Pride -- the insistence of living off resume, geography or culture instead of hard work and good faith.
