Inspiration is something you can rarely find these days, it seems as some of us need to travel miles away to find it. Others, may spend days and weeks isolated in their ivory tower hoping the divine good will release soon its boosting energy.Writing is not about scars, nor is it about releasing frustrations or selfishness. When you send a message to your readers, do make sure they will be left with something- no matter how shalow that piece of "somethingness" might be-the message is the arse kicker.
As a theatre icon I personally admire said once : "The mission of an artist nowadays is to impress and to manage to literally make the reader emerge into another reality, showing a new perspective and a new way of conceiving the idea of SELF".Writing is about dignity and self awareness, about giving joy and thrills and changing.
When the writer ceases to impress its audience, he simply dies and he, the unfortunate, will be erased from the collective memory like forever.
Some writers will admit it, some will not.
Some will inherit the grace and the horendous joy of being read, others may just aim to become writers, but the unforgiving time will engulf them as the legendary kit fish did with Jonas. In a postmodern world, the only thing we can do is just give as much as we can, work as hard and aim accordingly.
Any other rationale but this, will be automatically labeled as a huge nonsense.
What is strange is that writing and being a writer is not subject to the writing itself, but to the commercial aspect thereof.
RăspundețiȘtergereMeaning, you are only a writer, as long as your writing sells...anything else is definitely labelled as huge nonsense.
That is true and thus, I reckon all the effort which is put within the writing process will pay off when your own work will be sold.
