#### Or: No good comes from a vacuum

Photo by [Greg Rakozy](https://unsplash.com/photos/oMpAz-DN-9I?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText) on [Unsplash](https://unsplash.com/search/photos/creation?utm_source=unsplash&utm_medium=referral&utm_content=creditCopyText)Even the above statement is not original. (No, really…you’ll see…)
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
All writers are influenced by what we read, whether conscious or unconscious. For example, my writing style takes several cues from Terry Pratchett, sometimes very deliberately.[1] And there are no doubt countless unconscious influences feeding into my life in ways I don’t even realise.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
So in that sense I am in no way original. But in that same sense, it doesn’t **matter**.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Stealing’s no good.[2] But remixing is — has always been, will always *be* — the foundation of creativity.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Creativity is naturally cyclical. Readers write, and writers read. After all, there are only three[5] plots.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
It’s not just writing. Everyone is influenced by everything. Our imagination isn’t entirely our own — all media that we consume, all experiences that we have, every last thing that we see — gets thrown into one pot. Much like a baking recipe, the blend is original although the ingredients are not.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Accepting the art of the remix is the first step on the journey to finding a voice **— YOUR** **voice**. Your personal experience (original by nature) will blend into everything else that shapes us as people, all those influences known and unknown.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
And that’s as original as it gets.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
So it’s a poorly kept secret my drafts section is overflowing. This is one more of those drafts finally being shoved out into the world. My original title was thus:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
Then Medium dropped this on me:
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
[**Don’t Worry About Being Original — Everything’s a Remix**
|
|
||||||
*One of the biggest limiting beliefs I run into when talking to aspiring writers or creators is that they don’t have…*medium.com](https://medium.com/personal-growth/dont-worry-about-being-original-everything-s-a-remix-6fbb06ab1683 "https://medium.com/personal-growth/dont-worry-about-being-original-everything-s-a-remix-6fbb06ab1683")[](https://medium.com/personal-growth/dont-worry-about-being-original-everything-s-a-remix-6fbb06ab1683)And here we stand. The same sentiment, much of the same words. Classic example of case-in-point, in a meta sense. Pleasingly neat, actually.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
[1] Footnotes being just one recently rediscovered example
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
[2] Unless you’re Robin Hood[3]
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
[3] Sidenote[4]: is a rhyme split across a sentence and its footnote still a rhyme?
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
[4] Footnote, sidenote…notes aplenty…Dear oh dear.
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
[5] Replace ‘three’ with x number as appropriate. Doesn’t change the sentiment.

Dramatic and cynical. That's me. Sometimes dramatic and morbid. Frequently dramatic and self-derisive. But not often dramatic and funny. Or indeed, dramatic and happy.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Which doesn't make a whole lot of sense, all things considered.But of course it doesn't because I don't.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I am a fundamental conflict with no visible resolution. My life philosophy is founded on the impossible - two diametrically opposed sets of beliefs. It shouldn't work. It doesn't work and yet it is.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I cannot embrace it, because it is senseless. I cannot change it, for I cannot find favour for one set of ideals over another.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
But I *cannot* go on like this. Permanently torn, personality and belief in two separate facets.

Even the above statement is not original. (No, really…you’ll see…)
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
All writers are influenced by what we read, whether conscious or unconscious. For example, my writing style takes several cues from Terry Pratchett, sometimes very deliberately.[^1] And there are no doubt countless unconscious influences feeding into my life in ways I don’t even realise.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
So in that sense I am in no way original. But in that same sense, it doesn’t **matter**.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Stealing’s no good.[^2] But remixing is — has always been, will always *be* — the foundation of creativity.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Creativity is naturally cyclical. Readers write, and writers read. After all, there are only three[^5] plots.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It’s not just writing. Everyone is influenced by everything. Our imagination isn’t entirely our own — all media that we consume, all experiences that we have, every last thing that we see — gets thrown into one pot. Much like a baking recipe, the blend is original although the ingredients are not.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Accepting the art of the remix is the first step on the journey to finding a voice **— YOUR** **voice**. Your personal experience (original by nature) will blend into everything else that shapes us as people, all those influences known and unknown.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
And that’s as original as it gets.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
So it’s a poorly kept secret my drafts section is overflowing. This is one more of those drafts finally being shoved out into the world. My original title was thus:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Then Medium dropped this on me:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[**Don’t Worry About Being Original — Everything’s a Remix**
|
||||||

*One of the biggest limiting beliefs I run into when talking to aspiring writers or creators is that they don’t have…* medium.com](https://medium.com/personal-growth/dont-worry-about-being-original-everything-s-a-remix-6fbb06ab1683 "https://medium.com/personal-growth/dont-worry-about-being-original-everything-s-a-remix-6fbb06ab1683")[](https://medium.com/personal-growth/dont-worry-about-being-original-everything-s-a-remix-6fbb06ab1683)
|
||||||
|
And here we stand. The same sentiment, much of the same words. Classic example of case-in-point, in a meta sense. Pleasingly neat, actually.

I’m alone for New Year’s again this year. Though this time it’s intentional…I’m never much one for sentimental shit anyway. This is as far as I’ll go.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It’s been a hell of a couple of years, but for better or worse I seem to be finally running out of the semifictional pain that’s fueled so much of my writing lately. People seem to like reading about pain — like that old adage about news bad news sells. Schadenfreude does too, and it helps that some of my best writing is in pain…

> You're always one decision away from a totally different life
|
||||||
|

Those words are some of the most freeing I know. They help keep the wanderlust that runs through the fibers of my being placated...sober. I live as lightly as I can for good reason. Mostly because I have no other choice.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Here's something that might be obvious about me. Faced with stability and with sanity, with things as they are; and faced equally with the unknown and the curious, the passionate and the novel I never even need think. It's all interlinked with [The Rush](post/2018/07/chasing-the-edge/), of course. That's not to say I *always* pursue the novel at the expense of all else, that would be foolish... even for me.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Where was I? Ah, yeah. There's another quote that comes to mind here, though it will itself be the kernel of a full piece, eventually:

> Be ruthless for your own wellbeing

|
Life's too short not to live to the max, I (more than) believe that. And not to forget that there's always [a third way](post/2018/01/forging-a-path-into-the-web-of-unknown/). I am, as I've taken to saying, always thinking sideways.

Choose slow death? Or choose Life?

I choose Life. Are you with me?

Think of a sickly, wounded bird. Faded grey.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Then think of a fire licking up around it. A funeral pyre and also a celebration of (re)birth.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A phoenix must die to rise. To be renewed. Consumed [in flame](/post/2021/12/newflame/) that does not hurt but heals. I like the way it burns.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Partly because of [the great sieve I have in place of a brain](post/2018/01/some-things-stick/) I am immortal. I am a phoenix, motherfucker. If you want to beat me down, you're going to need a bigger stick. And more patience than there are stars in the sky.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I live moment by moment. Breath by breath. Pain doesn't stick, but pleasure doesn't either. It's a different way to live, as unimaginable to you as the fact I have no minds eye (If you *can* imagine, reach out. We can be alone together). I rage against the dying of the light, yet there is nothing I can do.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I must move forwards, because stillness is death. An endless restlessness that I wish on no one.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
I am not as I was. I shall not be as I am. Blink by blink I change faster than I can keep up with. Someday, perhaps I will find an iteration of myself I don't vehemently hate.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Hate me? I empathise. (Oh to be able to turn these pretty/twisted words into song...)

I don't remember where it came from, although that's no surprise anymore. But I do remember what it means. I am the Shield, and She is the Sword.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A Shield can be a weapon unto itself. Wielded with hammer blows. But a Sword is superior.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A Sword can be a defence method. Who wants to walk into a whirling blade? But a Shield is superior.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This long suffering metaphor is intended to emphasise the power of being together.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You cannot do everything. Hell, you almost can't do anything...alone. The society we have sleepwalked into building[^1] pushes us away from that every day. It has almost become [duty to rebel](post/2018/03/i-opt-out-too/). Do not play by the rules, nobody else will. You cannot fight alone. And why should you? Find your tribe. That, after all, is how we were made to live. Natural *isn't always* good, but maybe in this case. Hell if I really know.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Lately, the Armoury has expanded. Sword and Shield joined by Axe and Crossbow. Unique weapons with unique strengths and weaknesses.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
An axe hits harder than a sword, but takes more strength to wield. An axe can also be a tool, whereas a sword is peculiarly weaponised. A crossbow has the obvious advantage of range. But good luck cutting anyone with it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Not that the specifics matter to the metaphor. Think first and ask questions later, that's me as ever. People being weapons (problematic, I'll admit) is by the by...the point is more...
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

Life's a battle. Let's go to war **together**.

||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Pressing your face right into the flames until you feel flesh slough from bone.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
All else slough away from the world.
|
||||||
|
<br><br>
|
||||||
|
Only eyes and fire remain.<br>
|
||||||
|
Embrace. Inferno.<br>
|
||||||
|
<br>
|
||||||
|
The only question is...<br>
|
||||||
|
Can you match that fire?

Version: One
|
||||||
|
Gods Eliminated: Nil
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It is known that you can't kill a god in combat, no matter how powerful your weapon. They are immortal, immune to all harm. Fair enough.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
But a god is predicated on belief. Erase the knowledge of, belief in, reverence of, *fear* of, a deity and they are **nothing**. Sand in the wind.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Killing small gods, then, is easy. One might feasibly slaughter their followers; convince those that have simply heard of them that it was but myth (the supernatural never quite escapes a kernel of doubt, in any case); and burn up all written reference to them.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Killing an elder, established god is a much trickier matter. The volume of material mentioning them a veritable torrent, their followers legion. More than the work of one person, even over a lifetime dedicated to a cause unmaking.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To kill a god, ironically enough, you need to build a religion. One dedicated to their nonexistence. You must perpetrate the belief not only that the diety in question does not exist, but has never existed and could not exist. You must inspire this belief to be so fervent and infectious that all reference to them is blotted out, pages from tomes torn and burned, memories purpousfully cauterised.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Do not stray into inspiring hate. You are preaching absence, indifference, *forgetting*.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Finally and most precariously, you must cause your very followers to disband from your cause, engineer your religion cannibalising itself into a nonexistence that leaves only the absence of its once-divine intended target behind in its implosion. This absence will be invisible by definition, an unseen scar in the fabric of reality.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Belief is the most powerful thing. Its absence evermore so.
