Why write? Is writing making?

What is telling? What is showing?

What are clichés in writing, and how do I subvert them?

Are artists' writings taken seriously?

How do I know when to stop writing?

How do I start writing?


Making the Written Word will investigate and encourage the use of writing as a relevant outlet of expression at all stages of artists’ and designers’ studio practice. Each of the four sessions will aim to answer specific questions through readings, writing exercises, and discussion. This blog is a forum for the discussion generated and a place to leave references for each other.

Susan Anderson: a desperate secret agent

http://img13.imageshack.us/i/braintraining.png/

I received this email from a Susan Anderson. I can't say I know her or her work at Braintrainers, but I like the way she writes. Susan is convinced, and attempts to convince me that we know each other. The sheer range of the approaches she uses to invoke familiarity ends up blowing her cover; we have clearly never met. Regardless of whether she is a disembodied spam email or not, she is all the more mysterious. What could her incentive be for this flailing attempt at contact? I want to know more.
