How did you choose between painting and writing as a creative outlet?

Painting is too limited, time consuming, and expensive. If you think having a writing career is hard, having a painting career is like 100x harder.

I do both, but rather poorly I'll admit. I also dabble in wood carving and leatherwork. I also played guitar and bass for awhile and have messed sculpting and plaster casting. And stop motion animation. Probably other stuff I'm forgetting too. If I could take all the time and effort I've spent on all these things and apply them to only one thing I might actually be good at that thing. I've had fun and made some cool shit though so whatever.

No brushes for me, but I do like the brusque quality of the (coloured) pencil; I rarely draw/sketch though, and when I do, it usually happens spontaneously, and as an immediate accompaniment to my writing.

I had no interest in creating art until philosophical contemplation led me to the belief that creating art, while significantly inferior to studying and contemplating philosophy, itself significantly inferior to Bible study and prayer, is still a viable means to self knowledge and spiritual contemplation that gives its own unique spiritual knowledge otherwise unavailable/difficult to acquire.

Using a kabbalistic-Neoplatonic framework I reasoned that since lit is the most abstract of the arts since it is based on a play of intellect, whereas music can operate on much more animal rhythmic mode as can painting, food and other such, it is logical to assume writing is the most abstract and non-animal, thus the most spiritual-intellectual of the arts.


But this wasn’t enough to actually get me writing, what convinced me that I should I write, was going through the complete works of Dunsany and just being so lost in the mental visions of it, so impressed by the raw imagination in every story and always of a different type, it convinced me that there is something to grasp on the aesthetic plane which would further cultivate my spirit, something which I could only have if I master an art.

Did both for a little bit. Was shit at both, but when I was finished with painting I looked and went "this is shit", but when I was finished with writing I was like "eh, that's fine" or even "that's good". I felt much better afterward too, so that's why.

I briefly got into drawing during Covid cause I was talking to a girl who was an exceptional artist, but it’s one of the most fun hobbies I ever did. It’s so fascinating to learn techniques and the entire process is very fun and rewarding. I don’t really draw anymore. I write because I read and think a lot these days.

>most animals won't give a shit about your angelic music, they think it's a racket, therefore music is not a universal language.
Studies show that animals do like music. In fact, when animals pay any attention to cross-species songs, they exhibit thoughts and behavior that are frighteningly analogous to humans. It has even been known to cause behavior change across species. For example, scientists determined that classical music alleviated dogs’ anxiousness, allowing them to sleep longer and bark more infrequently.
>it's too bad you never passed calculus in school friendo
I wouldn’t say it’s particularly hard. For many students—after spending a few years in largely algebraic classes—calculus is… different.

If you are not comfortable with algebraic manipulation and expressing statements in that language, you might find calculus very difficult to understand. I didn't.

You can still “get” the big ideas if you are an idiot like you. Most of them are almost intuitive. It's too bad you put them to this kind of "use" as a human turd.
