Dear folks, all creatives and Jacob Krueger Studio alumni! With the title of this article you will be probably wondering, “arsenals and pieces”… It’s a juxtaposition, juxtaposition in the dictionary means very close brought together in terms of a comparison to reveal “contrast and contradiction”… There may be unparalleled alignment in blogs, writers’ communities and paid evaluative dialogue of some consultants, what happens though when it comes to a professional piece of art? Today I would like to think analytically when it comes to creative writing and actually try to predict behaviors and future decision making when it comes to the New Year!
For those of you who have super fantasy in terms of jargon, I want to pinpoint the dimensions of my thought and right afterwards discuss on them. So, when it comes to the evaluation of writing “arsenals and pieces”, creative experience led me to the following key-points:
1.) Time
2.) Timeless archetypal level
3.) Distinction mentality
4.) Competition
5.) Think of Index Cards – Analysis
First of all, time. How many times have we, creatives, thought: I wanna write something. What happens though with those writers that after two or three months rereading the piece they’ve written they no longer agree with it or believe it? So, all of us will think, creatives have to avoid the risks that come with the topic’s choice and personal way of writing. Politics or economics, controversial when it comes to hermeneutics will always pose a risk and creatives have to seek for the meanings and the architectures that are global and common for everyone.
This last interpretation, global, common to everyone, brings us to the second keypoint, that names this interpretation as timeless archetypal level. This is how we creatives, agree with what Mariah Carey wrote in her memoir: “I don’t recognize time!” Due to the fact that numerous years passed in her life without distinction or record deals, she prefers not to count her years and her ages, but instead of that be present in the moment “celebrating” everything. Archetypes are derived from our collective unconscious. What the fuck is that?
In terms of mind design and psychology, we have our conscious meaning the area where we act and behave, our subconscious that shows hidden motivation behind things, for example, we say “subconsciously I make this mistake” and the collective unconscious of Jung, that my first teacher and friend in Wikipedia stated it to be the place where we burry what we can’t handle. So, we have to dig deep and bring things to surface. If you pay attention to the archetypal notions, these are: Great mother – tyrannical father, old wise man – trickster, animus – anima, meaning – absurdity, centrality – diffusion, order – chaos, opposition – conjunction, time – eternity, sacred – profane, light – darkness, transformation – fixity.
The bipolar syntax determines the ego and the shadow. For example, in fairytales we keep the good stuff and we try to pass delicate meanings about darkness, evil, loss or pain since children live and think quite protected yet. Based on the archetypes I assume these are final denominators that may be constituted by hundreds of elements, structures or packets of ideas exactly the way we deal with our personal, creative, emotional and professional profiles! But contrary to what many writers believe, we can reach that level as long as we enter the archetypes and express ourselves, the way Jake Krueger had suggested in one of his past videos. Can Jungian archetypes be the top of the tree where everything below is nested as a sub-routine? It can be done depending on our fantasies and our creative experiences. So, is the ego-shadow structure present in any first draft of a piece of literature? The answer based on my experience distinguishes softly from hardly, like a fairytale...
As writers with our first couple of projects, we are prone to one very concrete mistake. On the one side we like to be unique and distinguished, on the other side we enter the masses... This leads to the third key point where I say writers have to develop a distinction mentality, in later stages of our creative profile of course, as long as we have made clear in our minds who we’d like to be. From the very moment this actually happens, there’s not coming back!
WeScreenplay, Hollywood’s #1 Screenplay Coverage service, discussed in one of its articles the importance of evolving not erasing. The essence of it suggests scripts are good. You don’t get 35, 40 or 50 years old without the capability of writing a few good or even say impressive paragraphs, suggesting that evolution merely changes our structures of thoughts and not the few islands of sanity of every script, bullet points as a matter of fact illustrated by scattered extravaganza. This leads us to the key point of competition. Based on the previous, it is not a matter of developing materials the way many irrelevant people suggest, when it comes to writing one single piece. Because at the end of the day, the single piece has to be good. The importance of the responsibility in spoken and written word applies to all individuals, writers or non-writers. This leads me to the conclusion where when people say your first one million words are practice, we have to distinguish facts from the stories we tell ourselves, otherwise there is no golden era…!
Responsibility of words takes place in social networks, everyday life, professional workspaces, the numerous spaces we enter in general, physical or digital. Or the fact that we enter spaces connected to Facebook profiles. Meaning, that from the very moment we are somewhere, a number of circumstances and conjunctures have to be aligned. This is where the bad stuff occur. Talking about responsibility and the importance of one paragraph for even non-writers, the importance of how we express ourselves physically and digitally, recursively as well as precursively, chickens with keyboards arise. Look, we talk about competition. If something doesn’t go well with someone’s mentality, you, we, shouldn’t give it other dimensions. In such complex environments there’s always the example of people who act without being seen, as ghosts perhaps. People that in the middle of all of our crises, covid, finance, etc, still have the illusion they are doing grand life… And this is projected in articles, experiences and scripts or even worse side effects… Developing defense mechanisms on the previous directs us to my last point of analysis. But before that, just look what happens with “Me too” and verbal and psychological abuse and work bullying…
What happens when we creatives have to align our professional pieces as well? Short forms in the internet, as well as big forms for public opinion? If you happened to pay attention to J.K. Rowling’s site, there’s a notebook at the front page of it. I write my screenplays at Celtx. Its free edition provides a section for index cards and storyboarding as well. These two notions refer to develop the overall concept of your projects with a small number of sketches with descriptions, or small descriptions for every scene indicating what our consultants suggested. Look, it’s impossible for anyone to have a mind that has scanned 90-120 pages of a script, a small umbrella of what has actually happened that can be visualized and tested is important as well. Living the experience and not just executing. Uh, oh, folks, we have talked about lots of things here. Any resolution?
As long as we creatives no longer do things mechanically, within 20 days as this may mean you won’t do anything in the end, many things can be achieved with the mere impression you want to live the creative experience and not mechanically and subconsciously execute stuff because you’re hurried or worried about getting money right here right now.
What do you think of my thoughts folks?
