The Literary Sipper Talks Mattering
Manage episode 421351227 series 3529363
The feeling that we are all shouting into the void is pervasive in art making. Why does it matter? Who is even listening? Why should I even sit down and write or draw or make something from nothing?
I refer you to a one Mr. Jeff Tweedy in his wonderful book, How to Write One Song. In the very first page of the book, before he even gets to page one, chaper one. he writes:
“We have a choice — to be on the side of creation, or surrender to the powers that destroy.”
I can think of no better reminder than that.
You matter. Your art matters. Now get on with it.
