Michael Beirut has posted a brilliant(ly hilarious) post over at Design Observer, titled "Everything I Know About Design I Learned From the Sopranos."

"My advice? Put that thing down awhile, we go get our joints copped, and tomorrow the words'll come blowing out your ass."

Paulie's advice to frustrated amateur screenwriter Christopher is pretty much exactly the same as every book on creativity I've ever read: if you're struggling with a problem, put it aside and inspiration will come when you're not expecting it.

Just be warned: this is an HBO-rated post.
