Words phrases that are yours
This seems to be only way I am able to write and not personally view my work as fabricated. I often hear songs on the radio or in movies that are simply no written this way. The lyrics seem forced. I picture a dull person in a dull room typing for each word that is their own I hear a right-click, synonyms, hmm… that would sound better. But no, it sounds fake and cheap.
All of this brings me back to a phrase I scrawled down some time back: “What is art? Can you influence your ability to create art?” In my opinion you cannot force anything beautiful. It must simply be. If you force making love it is a crime called rape. Why is it people feel they can force art and still consider this acceptable, even beautiful to some. When this happens I detect an odor of cheapness, criminals, and a violation of arts beauty. Some people make careers of raping words, butchering imagery, and stealing others feelings.
I have decided that the only way I can sleep at night is to seek out these artistic criminals and tell them how they have offended my senses. While I was reading I came upon a brief section of “space” where she talks of forcing herself to write. This causes a dilemma. Is she stalking her art or is she wooing her art with persistence. Maybe I should reconsider my definition for forced art.
