Aspects of Creative Thought & Expression!

By reading the book of remarkable Greek writer Pashalia Travlou (Lovers of Writing) I will exploit several excerpts from the book so for us to discuss today how the distinction between the writer and the litterateur can make a creator lovely, open and familiar to diversity that he will probably discover through his writings. Depending on his experiences the writer can explore his subconscious as well as his inner soul, by giving meaning as well as volume to his questions as well as his thoughts. Literature in reality is a notion narrower than texts, it concerns literacy in contrast to the second that has to do with the set of written scripts of a community. Both literature and texts have their origin to the subconscious and only from there can a litterateur or/and writer quest his authentic voice and the conscious expression that constitutes a very small percentage of human thought, inventions, expressions. I learnt that passing through the gates of our subconscious we get the right and access to an inspiration and expressiveness that owe to flow abundantly through the writing of the writer creator. But let’s get to the point of today’s discussion.

Writer Pashalia Travlou talks at her book about the issues that have to do with the psychodynamics of the writer, meaning she dares to talk about psychodynamics at the moment where the writer by confronting his words and his ideas on paper, confronts the huge according to the writer issue of whether he returns back to them to check them. Very often though as she says, scripts have to stay for a while and thoughts become mature before the writer confronts them again.

Depending on:
•    his talent
•    his self confidence
•    his trends for questioning
•    the degree at which becomes sensible his expressive ability
•    the importance he gives at literary and or expressive wholeness
•    traumatic experiences
•    his same mental speed and its relation with expression and the linguistic code of the text

is determined to a great extent the degree at which the writer censors and reprocesses his writings by making logical, points that perhaps don’t ease communication. More specifically the need for expressive integrity makes it obligatory every kind of post-evolution of older scripts. As well as his focusing some times at words and some times at ideas for a writer that sometimes expresses himself through streams of ideas, is that separate writers in two categories. Those who express themselves mainly impulsively and through ideas being less biased at the beginning on literary and expressive integrity and those the having indeed the power through diverse linguistic codes to combine speed and integrity at the same time. I will take advantage of an excerpt of the book.

"Literature and in a broader term, art, as it is an after effect of inner needs that originate from the subconscious and not the consciousness of writer-litterateur, awakens powers that the creator doesn’t realize from the outset he has." This is the key point of today’s discussion! It is acceptable that no matter how much we insist on multiple processing and refining of scripts, a few mental, of soul and emotional discoveries are stormed that don’t follow logic. No one can come out of darkness and be brought to light without paying the price. Very often for a writer that he is called to confront his dark side, it is being said by the writer that the faith at an eternal roasting on fire can be proved mistaken.

It must not worry the creator his capricious writing at the first stages as long as he remains hard working and sportsmanlike. Though especially in creative writing no one can learn let alone practice out of non being, without primal material in other words. Personally, I believe that for creators to awaken powers that the creators can’t realize from the outset they have, cuts down creative expression and the subconscious to the rational sight and often understanding of the world that surrounds us, at an appropriate relation of inner – outer world. Thus, if literature and writing become the cause for the coveted transcendence of objective being of a work towards the reality of civilization, this is an issue depending on the creator himself. Certainly though, the synthesis of multiple emotional, of soul, mental, aesthetic as well as conscious factors is a reality that concerns both the creative process as well as every thoughtful man. The quest though in every occasion is the utilization of the ideas and principles of man towards a better tomorrow. Have a great weekend!
