Last week I listened to Aaron Sorkin's interview with The New York Times ahead of The Social Reckoning, and two things stopped me.
He acts out his dialogue so physically that he once broke his nose doing it. And he lives in a constant state of panic that he'll never find another good idea.
My first reaction was, come on – you're Aaron Sorkin. My second was that I know exactly that feeling. Hans Zimmer describes something similar: he accepts a film, hangs up the phone, and immediately starts looking for a way out.
This episode is also my explanation for going quiet for over a month. It wasn't a lack of ideas – I had plenty. I just couldn't commit to one. What I've landed on is that creativity is mostly choosing, and you only reach the next fork in the road if you're already moving.
