I suspect there’s a difference between negativity that naturally arises, without any prompting or deliberation, and negativity that arises through willful focus. I suspect natural negativity is meant to be internally felt and allowed, if not externally expressed (if we always expressed it externally, it could destroy relationships or send us to prison). And, once…

Personally, I believe creativity is one of humanity’s default attributes. Some people create something resembling perpetuation (I say resembling because technically, you can never truly perpetuate something exactly as is–the universe is always in a different configuration of matter and energy from moment to moment), and some people create in a way that expresses an…

I believe humans naturally exercise creativity. Even if it isn’t a “creative pursuit,” such as painting, writing, music, etc, I believe humans are gifted with spontaneous inspiration and ideas. In my opinion, it’s simply a matter of channeling and directing this impulse, instead of forcing it into a so-called “creative pursuit.” The most gratifying expression…

I’ve edited chapters down to a single page, turned run-on paragraphs into a single line, expanded a single scene into an entire book. You can subtract or add words until you express yourself as best as you can. There’s no…

I’m sure there’s techniques and methodology to increasing book sales, or writing so that others look favorably on my work. I’ll give them consideration–maybe implement them if it feels right or appropriate–but not if it compromises my enjoyment of writing. Financially speaking, writing is a terrible way to make money, compared to other more reliable…

Personally, I find it really cool when I don’t really understand a movie or story, but I am still entertained by it. I attribute this to rhythm–rhythm between words, paragraphs, scenes, and chapters. Without rhythm, narrative breaks down into a technical explanation. The rhythm is what hooks my subconscious, drawing it in with a hypnotic…
