Ambition and passion.
3 years ago
I'm warning you now. Before you read a syllable further, understand that this is a pompous declaration of how I feel about 'art' as a general concept. And that this journal is a proclamation of my beliefs associated with it, thereby. Also, I've a few pointers for fledgling artists.
Personally, I feel that art should always 'touch' the soul of the reader, and or viewer. If you feel nothing, then you shall produce nothing. Art comes from the heart. I've believed this for a very long time. I've merely refined my approach.
I'm given to working in old English, for I find it to carry more weight. I do try to modernize the principle a bit, by adding in slang. But still, given what I do, I try to make it sound more 'modern'. So that it doesn't come off as cringey. This is as a writer, since I understand that I can't draw worth a shit (Maybe one day).
But, when your characters feel something, then so too should you. I'd advise you to not 'fake it, til you make it'. No. Be sincere, and be ferocious in your dealings. Keep it raw, and keep it close to your chest.
Research is key. If you're going to write about anything, then do your research. Regarding height, make-of-vehicle, and whatever else you may find relevant... and it also helps to scan your literature meticulously for overuse of certain words. We all have our style, but it's best to not get stuck in a rut of always drawing from the same lexicon.
For example, I used my last fan-fiction to scan for an overuse of the word 'thought'. I love inner dialogue, but I dislike it when I never change it up. Change is progress. Artists should constantly strive to change/improve their works. At least you should, if the current formula doesn't work.
I am still very small-time. I am a nobody in terms of writing talent, and I understand that. Still, my passion can not be denied. I love that thrill of raw emotion. I love that power of being. Which is why I was so very personal in my stories. I wanted to feel like I was there.
So, let us just set the record straight. Shall we? I am still a no body in terms of artistic talent. But, I'm doing my best to improve every, single day.
And so, when I do write an original work, I hope you will all appreciate it. I love you all. If the world is bleak, than I suggest we make it bright. By painting more rainbows in the sky with our passion.
