My idea is to write a concise word that describes your life. What would it be? What are some examples of things that are closer to what I’m trying

to describe: Visual artists (painters, sculptors, etc), often get a vision of something, they try to render their

vision concrete using a medium and/or particular style.

“When Michelangelo looked at the block of marble he was to carve he looked beyond the outside and saw the shape of the statue he was about to create. One of the spherical figures is a triangle, which takes approximately 10 to 3 , and is actually carved by Michelangelo. Musicians

often have a’sound’ in the head, that they try to make real.

What are some good examples of “Like nothing

on the earth that sounds like a symphony”? So,

for those artists it’s not unusual to say that what they’re aiming for is fully-formed in their head (yes, I realized not all visual or sound (aural? Art is created this way (e.g. auditory)! What issues do the artists encounter when they imagine visions that they had been dreaming of?

Is it unusual, but not unheard of, for artists to get something like this artistic vision? When the muse comes out of the cage the stuff suddenly blossoms, full formed, sitting in their head and waiting to come out.

“Well, The Princess Bride opened itself to me before this is your turn to open it yourself to you.” Never when did I have an experience like this. Where does it all come out? I

heard

a single line of dialogue echo through my mind while writing and thought I had finished thier play. I read. I wanted to write that play. I took my time. I then wrote the play. What about it? Why am I drawn to the dictation of stories of two straight hours without a moment of hesitation, doubt, or contemplation? The play ‘The One Act’ (a one-act) was produced in college, produced professionally, and hardly a line changed from that first astounding burst. For me it was like the last story that I fought and saved. “A

word that doesn’t quite capture this experience: Promethean (the experience or result doesn’t have to be boldly creative, Promethean implies).

The Greek word,, is a symbol for Athenian. @vstrong has mentioned (and I have thought of describing it as Athenian), but is that a sense (is that word popularly used, even)? If I use that word, are most literate people going to understand my meaning – or are they going to have to derive it from their knowledge of Greek/Roman myths (scanty in this day and age) and contextual clues? When I run across that word, I associate that with residents of Athens, Greece – and I have a fair grounding in myth, which it seems most people don’t.
