My #skills & #experience make #writing easy.

My self-imposed #standards make writing bloody impossible.

Welcome to the #curse of being a #writer.

Still trying to figure out if The West Wing is now Sci-Fi or Fantasy, but there was definitely a shift in genre
I watched an episode from season 1 of The West Wing tonight. I laughed hysterically trying to picture such thoughtful, intelligent conversations going on in the west wing of the current White House...

“Who am I?”

Although rarely the only question a #story explores, this is the central question of every story.

I refuse the conceit of High Art vs Low Art.

Rather, there is only your Art & my tastes.

Do what you do well, & I will applaud your skill & admire your passion.

I find it joyfully ironic that I am never more aware AND never more oblivious than when I am in the middle of my #creative #passions, whether that be #writing or #photography or anything else.

In those moments, my every sense is wide open, and my intellectual processing is quieted.

#Antagonist: A person opposed to, struggling against, or competing with the protagonist.

#Protagonist: The leading character; champion of a cause.

No suggestion of good or bad, moral or amoral, right or wrong, angel or demon.

An independent thinker is not one who eschews insights & advice from others.

An independent thinker is one who selects from those sources the things that best help them.

If a suggestion isn’t relevant to you, ignore it; don’t deride it simply because it came from someone else.

Seems my imposter syndrome was accurate…

…but only because I wasn’t following my true calling. *

Now, I have found a better path, & I have never been more powerful & more confident.

* Even then, I kicked ass.

If I ever needed proof that #happiness comes from within, not without…

I can have what I desire & feel dissatisfied.
I can achieve my goals & feel indifferent.
I can be loved & feel disconnected.
I can experience beauty & feel nothing.
I can be my true self & feel empty.

I believe there should be no barriers to whom a storyteller can portray.

The greater the differences, however, between #character & #storyteller, the greater the onus on the storyteller to research, understand & capture the factors that influence the character’s existence.

Most of my life will be spent on the journey TO a destination, not AT the destination.

Until I can find joy & growth in that process, I cannot begin to find joy & growth in life.

For anyone indulging their #passions & engaging in creative #selfexpression, the greatest enemy is not #criticism. It is not #judgement. It is not denial.

The greatest enemy is #indifference.

In commemorating Remembrance Day, I focus on the individuals rather than the conflicts as we appear to be addicted as a culture to senseless slaughter.

And that is me remembering the past.

Storytelling is a perpetual battle between hubris & humility.

Hubris to believe that I am God delivering the Spark of Life.

Humility to accept that my effort will always come up short.
