“Art at its most significant is a distant early warning system that can always be relied on to tell the old culture what is beginning to happen.” —Marshall McLuhan
Writers are the bold ones who are willing to say the hard truths.
“It’s time to hang your hat on the old ways. They no longer work for the betterment of society.”
New beginnings can be scary which is why I’m very comfortable in a steady and consistent routine. I don’t like last-minute plans. I don’t like not knowing what’s going to happen. I like to have a generous amount of energy to do the things I planned to do. But life has got to be part of it all, and sometimes life likes to toss in curveballs. Here’s the good news, those curveballs can turn out better than the original. So with this quote in mind, the best thing to do as a writer when you see the early warning systems is to not panic, just enjoy the writing.
Enjoy the art.
