Thank you so much!

I just saw your comments 5 minutes ago and I just wanna say thank you for your kind words! It's really nice to hear you enjoy the random music I put on my website. It makes me feel that even musical "scraps" I post on here have some value!

I also did get a chance to read your muse entry and there was a lot I related to! From your discussion about how the mundane has inspired your writing, to using the written word to connect to others. I find that all forms of art can be used as such a powerful form of communication. I can definitely feel that need to express yourself in your prose, and it makes me invested in what you have to say as a result!

what you said in your muse ariadne entry is something i can apply to with creative writing- i can really relate to the desire to learn about structure and theory to understand and further shape my narrative voice, but i really agree at the same time at how considering theory too much often stifles your artistic voice.

it really made me think of something i heard about a while ago when it came to visual arts- how as you grow older and expand your virtual library, you feel more stuck in art because of your misunderstanding that your art should fit in a neat box. it's why i chose to dabble with music, even if i am pretty amateur at it, haha. i do it because it's fun! i do it to exercise my creativity! i do it for the hell of it!

thank you for writing, and i hope the writing club gives you more of an excuse to write ☺! now excuse me as i replay half-baked for hours on end...

wonderful ! i'll add you to the page now. and your response to the first prompt is so thoughtful-- i totally understand that feeling that theory takes away from the creativity and freedom of it all. i think for me, at least, it only does for a little while-- while i'm really learning it, y'know? i think adding the tools to your toolbox takes a lot of work, but (cont. in next reply LMAO)

getting to use them in creative ways and break rules changes things. the creativity comes back, i feel. regardless, writing as a hobby & catharsis is a beautiful thing, with or without 'theory' attached. i'm glad you get to have it as an outlet :]
