Is that Lana del Rey?
I think so?
There are none, take a guess you lazy bag of potatoes
>why am I not inspired?!?!
>WHY CAN'T I MAKE THE HECKIN' ARTERINO!?!?!
No artist of the first rank ever thought like this. But here's a little spoiler for you: every great artist was moved to create their art by the love of God, and humanity. If you can't wrap yourself around this concept, you will never understand. You will never make art worthy of the lasting applause and appreciation of humanity. How could you? You're thinking of art through a purely commercial lense, not one born out of genuine inspiration.
>every great artist was moved to create their art by the love of God, and humanity.
Have you personally consulted every great artist in history to reach this conclusion you moron?
>love of God
>who is Aldous Huxley, George Orwell the great AGNOSTIC writers
>love of humanity
>’life sucks’ is a popular worldview of classical western philosophers
Aldous Huxley and George Orwell are skidmarks compared to truly great, faith-driven writers, like Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky.
"Love of humanity" doesn't mean love of life only when it's good. It means love of the wild peaks and troughs of the human condition, the good and the bad taken together.
>who is Aldous Huxley, George Orwell the great AGNOSTIC writers
I do not characterize them as great writers.
>’life sucks’ is a popular worldview of classical western philosophers
No it isn't, and any who held that view were not great philosophers.
>there is no such thing as an objectively great artist
wew
>any who held that view were not great philosophers.
“every great writer is only great if he agrees with me!”
>love of God and humanity as primary motivation
I've noticed this again and again in great works of art. It can't come from anywhere else.
Or that only works of art with those elements in them seem great to you
Who do you think, regardless of the veracity of what they believe, would produce better art: An artist who strives to capture the unfathomable, infinite creation of God, or an artist who works by aesthetic pleasure alone? Come on. I'm not even religious, but that's a no-brainer comparison.
It depends how loosely you define “god”.
Life is Elsewhere by Milan Kundera
My biggest struggle is forcing myself to chase a dream that I know won't make any money for a long time.
Like many of us, I would love to write for a living and be a successful author. I don't doubt that I can do it. But I know how long it will take to get there, how many long years of practice lay before me until it's good enough to earn any money - not just for profit, but for basic living expenses. One must be exceptionally determined to persevere through years of hardship.
Dear God, if it doesn't feel like I'm standing at the base of a magnificently tall mountain to be climbed... Taking one more step is a new challenge every day.
i dont give a shit about money and I think most writer wannabes dont either
but conquering laziness and getting off your ass to do something every day is exhausting... its a struggle that never ends until you die...
I don't mean money for money's sake. You need money to survive. I mean money to live, to buy food and housing. Otherwise, I don't care about money either.
