Artistic DNA Assemble Writers

Take solace in your place within this artistic world and its ever-changing highways of creativity and abstraction. You are the civil engineer, the master mold, the sinew to the vein. Now more so then ever, as I have finally embraced myself and my writing ways, I can see how good writing determines the quality of so many other artistic mediums. This dependence is both astounding and inspiring .

As a writer you're fundamentally blessed and cursed at the same time. You're blessed because you think about the world in the most detailed way and unfortunately you're more then just an observant onlooker. You're a world molder capable of bending time, space, the very fabric of our reality to convey some thought or emotion. The world we explore and observe creates an emotional response within us and we must portray it in writing. We're cursed in that we are forced to demonstrate our views and opinions through such rigorous complexity. We cannot rely on the visual mediums, the reality capturing film or any of that ilk. We're cursed with creating an inner monologue within our audience's mind. We're more then gods, we're the very laws of reality, physics, and chemistry fused together. Nowhere can a person get a closer interaction with a person's psyche that you can with reading their writing. It is a direct communication with all aspects of that person's being.

Further more as a writer you are continuously drawing more and more elements into your repertoire. You can observe and study so many things, and that galaxy of objects instantly gives you sub-conscious material for your writing. As writers we come even before the dream, we are the initial vessel that waits for it, like a starving animal.

As abstract as these ramblings may be above, the idea I am straddling towards is a very simple thought. Writing still determines the quality of so many other art forms, it is still the DNA for the modern artistic environment. Films are consistently determined by the quality of script, dialogue, and so forth. Special effects cannot hide or drown out excellent writing. In other words writing is still the storytelling engine even on the grandest stage that is film-making. Directors and screenwriters are consistently lauded for their ability to write and that's easily apparent by the Academy Awards duel categories in both the best adapted screenplay or original screenplay awards.

We're the organs within the anatomy, the veins that course the living statue, and the dust on the emerald rings spinning around a hidden sun.

For me personally I am almost always glad I am a writer. Sure there are definitely moments where my confidence is eroded and I am forced into a that 'everything I write is horrible mode'. But when you get a glimmer of your actual thought on the paper, that strip of internal media that tells so much, then every toil and every pain is worthwhile. When a piece of yourself is mounted in actual ink and paper, compared to that there really is no greater satisfaction. Now in this whirling modern world were information can be plucked from the air, and art falls into the hands of the undeserving or ignorant, our place in this world is even more clear. We're the DNA, the hidden power, that mind behind the machine. Embrace this role and accept the difficulties, you have no choice. We all have something to offer, but not everyone can offer writing.
