Writing as an artform & my mission!

I don’t fully understand why people dread writing assigned essays, be it work or school or something else entirely. Sure, if you’re forced to write something that goes against a principle of yours or you’re expected to lie when you do not wish to – that’s a source of dread and pain, but otherwise . . .
In the IB there is a mandatory assignment expected to be undertaken by every would-be graduate; the Extended Essay. It’s 4000 words on a topic of your liking. Out of the dozens of people I know who are writing this RIGHT NOW, not even a twentieth of them find any actual enjoyment in it. Why not?

They all have their reasons, be it laziness or lack of inspiration. This is what fundamentally separates writers as artists from writers as workers. Artistic writing is the one fueled by personal satisfaction, external acknowledgment and spontaneous inspiration all working together in HARMONY. Artists produce endlessly, usually never truly satisfied. We aim for a masterpiece.

A masterpiece we’ll probably never finish.

I will try to keep this blog updated, along with my dA Journal. It’s easier said than done, oh my.
