While we stick to conformity, holed up in our safe spots, earning our daily sustenance, creativity is usually missed, as it swims against the current. Writers far and wide have been producing words for the masses, unaware that the depths reek with an insatiable fervor to turn to the system and simply say, no. Droll writing might dominate the internet, but a rebellion Is in order, to turn the momentum around. For rebel writers, a spark of curiosity is enough to create a flame that burns out all resistance.
I have heard a project manager tell me about a fact agreed by others in the industry. Writers were the most problematic to manage. Yes, true writers are rebels who don’t bow to mediocrity, thus the sentiment.
How It Begins
Working against the grind, sometimes a voice may call out to a writer, stating its stagnation, marked by hopelessness and encompassing darkness. I may earn a good salary, but I feel dead inside. There must be more to this, and there surely is. An urge to break the status quo deepens, only silenced by the quelling of vain pleasures, and the comfort of a meager return. Why have my words, that have shown me such magical moments, now turned against me? This monotony must be broken, and the energy needed for this exceeds what we can muster up.
The Forces Suppressing The Rebel Writer
The call for change never goes unchallenged. While there may be a growing resentment for the way things are going, change always faces opposition, whether from within, or external. You must face several adversaries, the first of which are your own kin, who’s direct involvement pales in comparison to the ways they unknowingly suppress your inner desires.
Change lies in uncharted territories, and the uncertainty is enough to hold back even the headstrong. The system is also a major hurdle, since it injects the writer with the anesthesia for the pain, while also drawing a flawed picture of perfection. It says nothing can surpass or bypass this standard, while drawing the line in the sand. However, the strongest resistance is within the mind, and the rebel writer has already noticed this internally.
The Apple Of Rebellion That Created The World
It is said that, if the Apple had not been touched, we’d still be in heaven. Mundane as it seems, compared to the life of this world, beset on all sides by emotions that move and away the soul to live, love and cherish. Perhaps it was not a mistake, but an action preordained. Rebellion creates new worlds, and if you were to look back, Julius Caesar wouldn’t have been known if he didn’t cross the Rubicon, marching against the system. The mind must first conquer it’s silence, and steer it against the system, creating the rebellion needed for an ascension.
Defy The Deities of Stagnation And Rebel Into Creation
The writer’s words will flow for the system, but they can use it for themselves. Just as it creates countless realities, a writer’s words have the power to write their stories. Those who still write to themselves, creating an inner monologue know how the willingness to rebel claws at them. Sleepless nights, inability to bow to the system, and an unquenchable desire to know more, mark the tear on the seal. For if you are among the ones to bring change, you must embrace the unnoticed discomfort of the norm.
Stagnation is a demanding deity, the pleasures obviously outweigh the need to break free and see more. Long silences will reveal more about who you are, than being told who you have to be. Conquering the silence is the first battle. Once the silence is conquered, your mind speaks in clarity, guiding your purpose.
But hey, let’s scroll that feed for a while.
What Does This Mean For Industry Rebel Writers?
If you can write down your thoughts, consider it a gift. Most self proclaimed writers are high and dry, waiting for someone to tell them what to write. And most importantly, don’t let your thirst for knowledge dwindle, our mind needs that, fresh data keeps the notion aligned. Keep the rebel writer alive, and keep writing down your observations, the universe needs that more than they need recycled thoughts and ideas.
