Hello folks, creatives and social networkers! Deep character questions arise for all writers so today I would like to expand this topic from the writing arena to the real-world arena. It’s all about the real-world implications of creating by first of all looking at ourselves… Additionally, looking at ourselves suggests that characters should mime a few patterns based on how the writer sees the world, their physical profiles, their social background leading to educational background, working background, economic background, demographics, psychographics, relationships, goals, etc. Easier said than done… From the one side of things, a creator should focus on the parallel development of analysis, multiple index cards and notes after the end of the first or second draft of his script being brought for consultancy.
Nevertheless, I promised to discuss the real-world implications of the above that brings us to the terrain of a guided principle mined from the book of Stephen Covey, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. For this reason, I will shift the excerpt of the book from the company perspective to the individuals’ perspective. Here it goes;
“What makes an individual tick, why do some become built to last (while others fall), and why do some thrive in chaos?” One of our key findings is the idea of “Preserve the Core / Stimulate Progress”; no one can become or remain truly great without a core set of principles to preserve, to build upon, to serve as an anchor, to provide guidance in the face of an ever-changing world. … Covey found a similar pattern in personal effectiveness; first build upon a strong core of principles that are not open for continuous change; at the same time, be relentless in the quest for improvement and continuous self-renewal. …
Battling the super-productive model, Covey later in his book writes;
“But is there a chance that efficiency is not the answer? Is getting more things done in less time going to make a difference – or will it just increase the pace at which I react to people and circumstances that seem to control my life?”
The daily clock, the counter, I suggest it should hit zero. Notions of developmental psychology including the rationale of this book, are very heavy to be grasped by mere reading… Individuals wonder, should I step out of it? And later come back to face the facts stronger and rejuvenated? Here, the answer for those that do not seek temporary results is no. Writers should first of all be able to distinguish the ego from the shadow, the way these things are described in the area of several mentioned archetypes that form the techniques of our model of thought. Cumulatively, there are archetypes for the ego and archetypes for the shadow presented as interdependent opposites being described below;
Ego; great mother, old wise man, animus, meaning, centrality, order, opposition, time, sacred, light, transformation
Shadow; Tyrannical father, trickster, anima, absurdity, diffusion, chaos, conjunction, eternity, profane, darkness, fixity
Every archetype of the ego is interdependent with an archetype of the shadow that could be described with two columns, the ego and the shadow. Writers now want to search and figure out the essence of bringing our work to the light of day successfully by defeating the ever-changing shadow. This could possibly mean, based on the two columns that time is not infinite and those who believe that the entire infinity and the entire eternity should be quested at this point of our lives are not welcome.
In the book I write, a fairytale fantasy novella, words couldn’t be clearer: “…where nothing is what it seems and nothing lasts forever…” But how can such a concept be visualized? By thinking collectively! That’s right folks, the ego and the shadow exist as a collectivity of things and dimensions brought to surface through a spectrum of different prime emotional needs for all individuals. These ideas including the set core which cannot be subject to continuous change constitute the notions as well, of how the fixed and the fluid, the variable parts of literature will become one fixed body of reached greatness! Meaning, that up until standards and accomplishments have been maximized, performance scores of pieces of art indicate the binary value of scripts, meaning that scores are based on what other screenplays got. Meaning, again, that judgement comes always by comparison and that we have to mime patterns and a few all-star masterpieces to reach standards. For me and my book that has been brought for evaluation at WeScreenplay, Hollywood’s #1 Script Coverage Service, this standard is La La Land with Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone. Of course, that’s the creative standard and not the dimension of distinctions 😉
Can the above mean more when it comes to how mindsets should focus their writing on getting real world reflections? Meaning, are there more than talking about the dimensionality of characters and scripts in real life? Time concerns, is one such. Creativity should not flow mechanically and it should take time. Conclusively I would like to close this script with how we, writers, should stick to our creative personas, master our alter egos and get past the hunting of other dreams. Which means self-awareness, self-confidence and disillusioned thinking! Have a great time folks!
