Expression and Creativity

Submitted by JKHoffman on

"My crackpot theory is that people are losing their skill to express themselves, and they’re, in a way, farming that task out. If they want to express themselves they buy a song or they buy a greeting card that’s already processed by someone who’s kept that skill. We can’t express our own feelings anymore so we have to hire someone to do that." --Chuck Palahniuk

That Moleskine Isn't Going To Fill Itself!

So, you've got a notebook.  Great.  Now what?

It seems every creative person, or every person who fancies themselves as creative, has a notebook.  Mine happens to be a Moleskine, which are very popular, but yours may be something else.  It doesn't matter, really, what it is, because they all serve the same purpose.  To be filled with ideas for later development.  Is it?

The Orphan

Submitted by JKHoffman on

False starts are part of life.

Certainly, I've had a lot of projects that started with promise, but which never seemed to get completed. Others may have been started several times, or re-concieved mid-launch, such as this very website. Most of my half-baked, orphan works have either never seen the light of day or been safely scrubbed from the great digital subconscious before anyone else became aware of them, thankfully. But, there's a market that celebrates that bastard child of the creative process. An e-zine called The Orphan.
