Brevity is the Soul of Wit
Kelley and Max discuss the famous quote from Polonius in Hamlet, "Brevity is the Soul of Wit," and how it can translate to your creative projects (check out NoSweatShakespeare - Making Shakespeare Easy & Fun✔️ to find cool ways to learn about the Bard). So often, procrastination is not about being lazy; it's because you have so many ideas you don't know where to start.
We discuss the heavy metal band Tool and its many influences. There's a quote from Tennessee Williams and discussions on meditation, elevator pitches, slates, and how one little girl used social media to get her father a kidney.
Rather than focusing on a huge project, break it into small bite-size pieces like a forty-five-second elevator pitch, a monologue, or a two-page, two-person scene. You can take it outside of writing and try that recipe with four ingredients or a drawing that uses only a pencil and charcoal.
Get inspired, and learn that brevity has great power. A huge shoutout to the Gwinnett County Library system for allowing us to record at their facilities.
