Free your writing!
The liberty of baking when no one is watching.
The hypocrisy of this article
Now, as to begin with, today I am following a structure. I got a recipe, and it contains the genetics of flexibility.
It’s from a course that I never took.
It’s like baking bread. You know you’ll need water, yeast, salt, and flour, at the minimum. But if you know you’re not tolerating normal flour, you use something else.
Then, herbs to the dough. Texture it!
What would you put in your soup if no one else would eat it?
What would you write if no one was looking?
Please do not write something you wouldn’t genuinely want to read yourself, or share with someone that you have deep care or/and respect for.
Don’t be afraid of locating it if you’re already eating a soup that doesn’t do you good. Ask for guidance and support in the process of flushing it into a more heartwarming one if you find it challenging solely on your own. EVEN IF ITS EMBARRASSING. Sometimes it is.
Check your environment for ingredients. Are there good ingredients for your love for writing to flourish, or do you care to call in kinder ingredients?
What if someone perceive your delivery wrong?
As an abstract artist, perception is simply a game. It is through where one can challenge and expand. To explore and adapt. I believe there exists ideas that calls you home, and set you free. And I trust that it is through imperfect gestures, failing and falling, that we will learn how to navigate the world within and around ourselves.
What if you perceive someone else’s perception of you, or the one that you assume they’re having? Happened before?
Taking into consideration that the world and universe around us is an excellent reflection of our brains (conscious and subconscious pathways); would you drive the same highway each day? Would you not want to explore other places, cultures and vehicles? Would you not want to build something on your own?
I feel like this comes to writing too! Culture yourself and your writing, make your style easy to judge and illuminating to perceive.
Amusement for the writer adds value for the reader.
Now, I believe the creative process should be one that first and foremost enchants the writer. I care for the writer to be amused and integrated within their work.
Because storytelling is energy.
And the energy we put in and out will have the potential to shift the energy of the reader. Not transfer to the reader, but shift it. Like the reader easily can shift how you feel about your own article with their response, to the better or to the worse.
Amusement for the writer adds value for the reader. Your preferences is not less important than other peoples perceptions of what the right way of doing something is.
SUMMARY
The reason one should not entirely rely on other peoples recipes for success in ones writing is simply put. It enriches your life to make your own, and it enriches the life’s around you when you expand.
You’re actively adding to the evolutionary ways of the human species when you dare to explore outside the lines that is drawn in front of you.
A title, the context, a few points and thy summary.
Yet, it’s okey to use already established framework as inspiration. But the magic happens when adding in new (or old) and foreign (or local) spices and ingredients that you have an inspired relationship to.
This will make the process more fulfilling for you, and you’ll hold space for others to break out of their mental/physical/emotional routine if worthily for a few minutes.
Your structure is laying within you and around you at all times!
