write way

in case you are wondering there is no right way to write. just in the same way as there is no right way to sing, paint, act, sculpt, screenprint, modern dance. you get my drift.
there is no right way to creativity.

this isn't the same thing as there not being a right way to success or popularity.
that is a differnt matter altogether.

for most of us being creative is something we do in isolation.
if all you want to do is create that piece of work that has been gnawing at your soul for escape then it doesn't matter what it is like as long as you are satisfied with it.
it is your vision.
your voice, your idea.
if it works for you and it gets your idea across in the way you want then it has worked.
be happy.

if you want your idea, your vision, to reach a wider audience then you might just have to compromise. you might have to follow some of the rules.

it comes down to: create for fun or create for profit.
both are as valid as each other - they just have differnet road maps to their destinations.

it doesn't mean your highly original but highly idiosyncratic work will not be appreciated by a wider market - just don't expect it.
however as they say "all roads lead to rome" so perhaps your personal map may just lead to success.
