Something on my mind lately: when Mozart composed symphonies, did anyone edit them? Tell him to remove measures or change chord progessions? When artists paint pictures, does anyone tell them to remove brush strokes or "add something more over here" ? Did anyone tell Jackson Pollock he should change color palettes or group his splatters more effectively? Why is it that writing alone among all the arts requires others to tell the artist how to do it?

Not sure why writing has to be a group activity, but I'm pretty sure Scott Joplin composed music all on his own...

If The Great Gatsby or Lolita had been written by self-published writers, would they still be considered great works? Or does the brilliance of a book depend on a respected publishing house plugging it as such?
