Brandon Sanderson on making videos of your creative process:
“Some artists that I like, they’re doing this thing where they’ll film themselves painting a piece, and you get this awesome thing where you start with the blank page and then you see in fast motion them painting the whole thing. . . I can’t do that with writing. It’s not nearly as engaging to watch someone typing as it is to watch someone creating this amazing piece of art out of nothing, but I wanted to try, and see what it was like . . . I do these things called ‘interludes’ in the Stormlight Archive where I basically write short stories in the world and put them between major sections of the book, and I screen captured myself typing that out . . . The idea is just to put those things up as something fun that people might enjoy, probably sped up a bunch, since it took me six hours to write the scene . . . It totally makes you self-conscious. Mostly it’s the spelling. I’ll be typing along and I’ll see that I’ve spelled some word wrong, and I’ll be like ‘Oh man.’ . . . It does actually keep you focused, though, because every time your instinct is ‘I’m going to go check my e-mail’ or ‘I’m going to check this browser,’ you’re like ‘Oh, wait a minute. I’m filming. I probably should not do that.’”
