They all seem to end up going the Mary Shelley way of "my abominable offspring". But then maybe I'm just not well read enough yet. :PJean Woesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06072604177229953355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4428940702620731663.post-77185899766053645912010-07-31T21:35:01.547-07:002010-07-31T21:35:01.547-07:00Oooh, I like the idea of creations we can't co...Oooh, I like the idea of creations we can't control. I've toyed with the idea of writing one of those stories where the author's characters come to life, or at least, the world she thought she created becomes turns out to be real. But then there's always that added element of depth--does any author have the creativity to re-create the complexity of a human being? *finger drum*J.

Being both a writer and a painter its interesting for me to reflect on the differences of the mediums, how as an author you retain some control of your creations, since you can always add sequals and prequals and new edited editions. But as a painter, you can really only place your work down on canvas for a few seconds before it starts to take on a life of its own, as people interpret it and read it and take things away from it. Once its out there it can never come back, you cannot amend it, you cannot retract it. And yet both are art, both methods of transposing our souls into mediums less carnal, less mortal. As I said, I like the idea, but whether it could ever go beyond idea we will have to wait and see. :)Jean Woesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06072604177229953355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4428940702620731663.post-40389828852853832132010-07-30T19:50:29.868-07:002010-07-30T19:50:29.868-07:00This is awesome :D I could hear your voice narrati...This is awesome :D I could hear your voice narrating this, Jean, with big hand motions...<br /><br />Are you going to continue with it?J.
