What's More Important Than Speed?

Book Bindery, by appointment. Brooklyn, April 2010

Are some people built for speed?

This is the question Rachelle (over at Magpie Girl) asked me in my 1Q Interview.

She was referring to Lanterns and the way I produced a 50-page book of prose, poetry, and photography with six contributors in just five weeks this past winter. 

From that description, it sounds like speed is my superpower, doesn't it? But it's not. Click on over to the interview to find out what I think is more important than speed when it comes to finishing projects.

And if you're a member of Flock, you can find my full 3Q Interview there. I talk about the benefits of working on a collaborative project and being part a creative community.

And now if you'll excuse me, I have to go take my own advice and work on another creative project....
