i find the contradictions that arise from a writer outgrowing their own original vision for a story as it evolves and they evolve when the groundwork for it has already been solidified very fascinating. what course of action do u take as a writer in this case?
it feels like ur own art grows out of control. it is certainly risky to fundamentally change course, in fact i do think in some cases it might not even be very possible, but it is such an interesting tension from how ig the “gardener” & “architect” intersects and conflicts
this man stuck in his own torture chamber gg
#he’s under pressure not to announce d&d for financial reasons too but#this kind of vacillating and ‘gardening’ isn’t unique to grrm either#the masterfully constructed anna karenina deviates from its first outlines too#entire plots of that multiplot novel aren’t in its first outline#and middlemarch is multiple failed starts stitched together
