Every designed and every made things was used to define a story. Definitions are there as an expression, to form patterns of communication. In a real way, it facilitates people the way to understand each other.
I chose What Does It Mean to Mean? as a title because I was trying to trigger your sense of feeling. Previously, I've talked about how to deal with creativity, and now I am trying to assess your creative side by trying to describe about feelings. Why? Because, before you start thinking or working on characters and storyline, you need to know what kind of atmosphere that will move your story emotionally. You need to make it alive so that people can sense it while reading it.
All of us contain multiple inner voices. All of us need a safe place to admit that we are angry, disappointed, ecstatic, and the list goes on and on. Use it as fuel for action, feel it when your emotions and perceptions battle and play out. Engage your feelings, view it with greater detachment, learn to observe.
Now, take a piece of paper and write them down. List your fear, your anger, the jetsam of your relationship, whatever. You can even list your hopes regarding the creative work you are about to do. Be free, be cruel, be silly, be self-centered, be exactly as you are in the moment. Do not stop to analyze it. Just write it fast, do not try too hard, and move one.
Why I encourage you to list those feelings? Because it is so familiar to you. By recognizing the variety voices within your inner self, you will discover many positive aspects that might have become silenced over the year. We know more but we do less.
This exercise, I hope, will help you to observe the feelings before putting them into words. To express feelings through definition, not to define feelings through definitions. And the most important thing is, to make you begin to feel again.
