Creativity: Always Say What You T hink

width=450

 

I guess this title is very important to today because in all matters that involve freedom of speech people no matter race or gender have the right to speak and write what they feel. But this isnt true in the rest of the world. Creativity is about pushing forward against the tide and not stepping back from the cliff to dive in the ocean of unknowing choppy waters. The world even in the UK doesnt believe in freedom of speech. There laws against freedom of speech daringly resemble Big Brother from 1984. Writing what you want is the bedrock of artistic endeavors and no matter what the world might think creativity must never be Prometheus chained to the rock as the bird of indignation and political correctness eat away our freedom only to come back and then eaten again when we say something wrong. The fear of not saying what we say in American terms has always led to violence. In Britain it is about debate but thats not true anymore. Even writing a dangerous or even true thought is already another worse option in the world abroad. Censorship is just one of the myriad of reasons why most writers often prohibit their best writing today. Is it even worth it? As an American whose ancestors kicked the British out of America it is important to write what you think everyday. But does that make people wrong? You must look at everything in context and we can debate each other based on ideas. So write what you think and always be willing to explain what you think. Its okay to say you dont know" because art should always have a mystifying quality and its worth being wrong if you have your own opinion. Being wrong is a fiction writers life. To be original is to be wrong and right.
