Stay True to Your Art and Not the Trends

Writing as an art provides valuable expression for society.

While everyone has different reasons for writing, true artists shouldn’t write what others want.

Some say, “Write what people want to read according to the trends,” which might expedite making money, yet isn’t a true artistic expression.

What Art Is

Art is an expression the artist wants others to understand or experience.

True art expresses a unique and original message or meaning to others, as this is the artist’s work and contribution to society and community.

Writing can be an art form, expression through the written word; an article is a piece of art, expressing the artist’s unique creation to others in society and humanity.

Notes on AI Art

Some may specialize in AI art as though it were written word art, yet without human expression, it can only be AI art at best.

The imitation of art by robots doesn’t express what a unique human would, rather, it expresses the culmination of all human information and knowledge — see the difference?

Business/Trades or Art

Again, there are many types of writers, especially online, so I’m not saying one is good or bad, just clarifying the difference between art and business.

Business writing, technical writing, and marketing are different in the traditional meaning of art; even non-fiction is different than fiction in its measure of artistic creativity.

Having a skill or trade with words is great, yet it isn’t art any more than a house painter or the trades are art. However, I do believe each trade and work effort is a form of art in some measure, as each person’s unique efforts are added to society on many different creative levels.

Art, as a creative way of expressing a society or people, helps people reflect upon important things that bring value overall. It helps people understand themselves better and what they are part of in the bigger picture.

True Art is Powerful

True art helps people be free.

Art helps us express things otherwise not possible.

The powers to be want to control art because it influences people so strongly. It is a threat to their illusions and deceptions.

This is why tyrannical countries stifle art and put fakes and sellouts in the mainstream as artists. True art can still be found locally and regionally at smaller levels, but will never be allowed to organically reach the masses, even through online channels.

Conclusion

Stay true to what you want to express, rather than writing what other people want. Whether many people want to read it or not, writing artists need to express their unique views and creative meanings, as this is what brings value to others.

In the end, this is the true strategy of success with writing as an art form.

Making Substack the Center of a Writing System

Focusing Distractions with Complexity With all of the options writers and content creators have now, finding the right one for each system sometimes takes experimentation. Flops and failures often come with such brimming efforts of zeal, yet the glimmer of hope remains in pictures of automated simplicity. In the beginning, things were simple; then came the expansion, the maintenance, building, creating, researching, and other such effort and time into what can only be called a writing system. Organizing this complex miasma of disparate platforms, the writer (insert content creator as needed) has become a blogger, marketer, promotor, maintenance tech, and organizing master. The actual writing is pushed to the side. Finding Balance Each writer organizes their system differently according to their needs and abilities. I’ve always admired someone who focuses on one platform and doesn’t get stretched too thin. We can get distracted by constantly expanding and trying new things. What’s neede...

Great Show to Watch in These End Times

What’s Up Prof? is a great show to follow in these end times. Walter Veith and Martin Smith have combined to bring us this very enlightening show now for 6 years. The episode above is the 251st episode and the show has over 44 million views in the 6 years it’s been online. Walter and Martin are Seventh Day Adventist, and their message is more on point than any other show online in my opinion. This denomination and what they believe is the closest to what the Bible is teaching, especially, the Adventists who don’t follow the mainstream SDA church, which has been compromised by the enemy in Rome, the Anti-Christ Papacy and his worker’s of iniquity. Walter Veith is the professor and Martin is the student, as they address the most poignant topics of the day. They are only interested in the truth and not getting views, which is why they have been shadow banned and censored to not have millions of subscribers and even hundreds of millions of views — the enemy doesn’t want their message to ge...

Watch: Small Businesses Fight for Survival In Tough Covid-19 Year (2021)

The plandemic, scamdemic, or coronavirushoax have all done great and irreversible damage to the small businesses of the U.S. The private sector has been dealt a severe blow, as the government authorities hanging from he puppet strings of the elite ruling masters of the world demanded they shut down to save lives from the flu or cold. That's right, the coronavirus is still theoretical, as it hasn't been proven to exist and the PCR test tells us nothing because there is no gold standard test to gauge the results from. Makes you wonder why they are shutting only small businesses down while leaving the big businesses alone to make a killing, right. Sure would be convenient to create a fake virus as a pretense to take draconian measures to "save lives", only to destroy the competition (small private businesses) they can't control as easily. The NWO demands every business conform to their standardized way of adopting technology, hiring practices, etc. After the false pa...
