Despite everything, create
Block. Muse.
No block.
Tide, flow – ebb.
Art: Create, Write.
Work.
Hobby.
Eat, breathe.
Career. Get a job
Feed your art.
Live. Enjoy. Love.
Above all – create.
The last day of the Writers’ Weekend at Coppertoppe, I jotted down the above free-verse. It’s sort of a brief summary of things that we discussed: writer’s block and whether or not it actually exists, or is just arguing with your Muse; how creativity tends to ebb and flow, like the tide; writing is an Art, which we create – it’s work, it’s a hobby, which we eat and breathe. While it can become a career, we have to find a job, in order to feed our Art/creativity (or be independently wealthy to begin with.)
We need to live, to enjoy, to love, and Despite Everything, create.
