Fall Hiatus- Developing my writing skills.

10/31/2014

0 Comments

 
For the past few months, I took some time off to discover how to write and express myself as an artist.  I read a lot of philosophy, and understood almost none of it.  I painted and drew, and liked almost all of it.  But with writing... ah, that's another story.  It's like painting a picture, with clumsily-shaped words, with the most unappealing of mechanical tools to work with.  There's something about the keyboard, uniform across devices and places, that denotes a lack of actual soul.

This desire for soulful writing, whatever the hell that is, is an ongoing struggle for me to both take seriously and to actively work on cultivating.  I now keep a daily journal of my thoughts and such, but I'm not at a point where I'd want to type any of that stuff down.  I also am not sure if I wish to go the other route, and do a whole artistic manifesto every time I write the blog.  For one thing, I do not wish this online space, such as it is, to be just about my thoughts and doings, but about my thoughts as applied to the world around me.  In a lot of ways, I'm an isolated person, but I don't want to be one that draws from the environment around me without leaving something of equal or greater value in its place.  I extract various resources from fans of my work- and besides producing work, talking about our modern times and how they affect all of us is a big way for me to I can give back.  

Anyway, welcome to fall and back to my blog.
