RE: I Think I Have Brain Damage

in #writing7 years ago

I bet a lot of creative people, artists, photographers and even musicians feel that way. I'm not able to write anything at all 90% of the time. It wasn't really an issue or a big deal until social media came along then it became a source of self judgement as in "Why can't i do this like them? I should have majored in creative writing or journalism..."

Steemit amplifies this even more than any other site. Sometimes i wonder what Picasso or Gauguin or Caravaggio would write here? I picture some epic rants and an onslaught of flag wars. I just noticed i said picture not think or write. Lol, well there you go!

May the lords of words have mercy on us ; )

Not everyone has to be a writer, but it of course helps if you want to say something on a social media platform. I don't think you should be beating yourself up about it, because you don't have to write if you don't want to. Well, neither do I, but because this is my "job" and I know it's beneficial to write well.

This platform is not the greatest place for someone who would only want to share paintings or pictures, one masterpiece every once in a while. Not if they are expecting to get paid handsomely for it. But what I do see a lot of, is artists sharing progress photos and talking about their creative process, that is something I find very interesting!
