I have written two hundred popular and pragmatic posts, articles, and “How To” essays for writers and artists over the past ten years.
My most popular post is entitled “The Characteristics of Creative People.” The subtitle of the post reveals what is different about my approach and makes the post popular. The subtitle, “What We Learn from Writers, Artists, Dancers, Musicians, and Actors,” is my way of saying that through analysis of successful people I have known in various arts and crafts and many others I have read about and studied, these characteristics and personal qualities I describe are those that help writers and artists and others in the arts to do their best work.
For example, they helped Toni Morrison (who never wasted time because, she said, writing was the only thing she ever did) win the Nobel Prize and create magnificent novels and essays, and helped Joan Miro create in vibrant colors lovely paintings, 
sculptures, prints, and ceramics, and established Lynn Fontanne as a great dancer, Laurence Olivier a great actor, George Gershwin (as hard a worker as there ever has been in any field), a great composer, and so on.
They are many of the same characteristics that you and I draw upon when we are creating, and our finished work is especially high quality–our best work–thrilling us. The characteristics tell us what artists are like and how they prefer to work.
