When To Drop A Writer
Sometimes, there will arise a problem between writer and artist. There are plenty of reasons for this to happen, and when it happens, the adult thing to do is to just message the other person that you’ll be breaking off business dealings with the person and then going on to the next project. You can negotiate, especially if you have a split-profits deal, so avoid blocking them for as long as possible (although in some cases a clean break is best). Each situation is unique, so get as much advice as possible before making a rash decision. Also, remember that in business, paranoia is a good thing: Keep records of every interaction. How you’ll proceed is up to you when you decide to break up, but something needs to be done.

Essence, Embodiment, and Relational Reality
The Failure of Reduction and the Need for Synthesis There is a persistent failure in many modern attempts to explain what a human being is. Some frameworks reduce the person entirely to matter, insisting that identity, consciousness, morality, and meaning are nothing more than emergent properties of physical processes. Other frameworks move in the opposite direction, detaching spirit from reason and grounding belief in intuition alone, often at the cost of coherence or accountability. Both approaches fail because both misunderstand essence. One denies that essence exists at all. The other treats it as something vague and undefinable.
