that make them poisonous for any sustained creative work.
Crazymakers break deals and destroy schedules. They show
up two days early for your wedding and expect to be waited
o n hand and foot. They rent a vacation cabin larger and
more expensive than the one agreed upon, and then they

panoply of mysterious ailments that require care and
attention whenever you have a deadline looming—or
anything else that draws your attention from the

special meal in a house full of hungry children—and does
nothing to feed the kids. The crazymaker is too upset to
drive right after he has vented enormous verbal abuse on the
heads of those around him. “I am afraid Daddy will have a
heart attack,” the victim starts thinking, instead of, “How do
I get this monster out of my house?”

follow that guidance directly and fearlessly.
