Writing transmits ideas, concepts, and emotions to others, things that may not be perceived otherwise. The inner voice becomes external. The challenge is whether the reader interprets that written information as the author intended or has a different interpretation. That depends on the style of writing. Understanding what Todd Snider writes versus Gabriel Garcia Marquez may differ based on how they write.
I think that is why, in part, it's hard to say if a song is "bad". The other half is whether the music part is any good. What's better, amazing lyrics with no melody or a great melody with simple lyrics?
I agree! We all are interpreting from very different sets of experiences and context as well. Which makes it beautiful and reminds us that there is room for everyone's creativity to be shared. <3
My go-to response about why I write is that it's a prudent alternative to yelling at people as they walk by on the street. It's going to come out way or another.
I would add that concepts like "holding back" didn't really exist in almost entirely neurodiverse family. (My great-aunt once called Henry Kissinger a weasel *to his face.*)
Love all of this George! And love how just crafting a response is giving you the feeling of creating. Thank you always for sharing your experiences and wisdom.
