“Words can create love or hate, tears or smiles, harmony or chaos, war or peace. Choose your words with care.” – A.D. Williams

Thinking about writing a novel? Don’t know where to start? How? When? Well, to paraphrase Ernest Hemingway, writing is not that hard… all you have to do is take a seat at a desk and bleed your soul out through your fingers.

All great art has madness, and quite a lot of bad art has it, too.
Madness. Defined as a different way of seeing things, of perceiving reality. Madness, defined as obsession, as being persistent against all odds, being unreasonable in the face of obstacle.
Madness. The artists’s way of suffering, of being plagued by self-doubt and depression and numerous addictions.
Madness. Being unable to form social relations with others. Being different. Being awkward.
Madness. The lonely voice of despair you hear when there’s nothing but darkness and silence around you.
Madness. To give up on the immediate pleasures of life for the opportunity to create something that might endure for eternity.
Madness. Without it, there wouldn’t be art.
If you wish to catch a glimpse into the artistic process of some of the world’s most famous artists, then a sure bet is to take a look at the insight provided by their studios. Continue reading Showcase: Artists’ Studios
