The Artist in You

Have you ever told someone the story of your life? Bad or good, it IS a story. And YOU are the author of that story. It is an ongoing story and you will continue to script that story for the rest of your days. I hope it turns out to be a great one.

My point is, every person is a scriptwriter if only for story of their own life. Knowing more about the process of creation helps an artist in two ways. 1) it will improve the quality and speed of your production; and 2) it can improve your own ability to script the story of your life as it continues to unfold.  

To recap, the process of creation is a common denominator not only to creation in any medium but to the process of living itself. And in fact, it’s not just a metaphor. You may have never thought of it like this before, but you are creating a story every day.
