Just because something is creative, that doesn’t make it art. To be art, something needs to capture a bit of truth.
That’s why I could never make it as a writer, or any other kind of artist: I’ve never been able to stomach the truth.
But it’s also why I make a half-decent ad-hack: I’m so good with denial, at pretending that everything’s just fine. I’m good enough at it, in fact, that I can reassure others that things are just fine.
I’m limited, though, at reassuring them. I’m not quite there when it comes to convincing them. Maybe that’s something that’ll come with more time and experience. Maybe my conscience will always get in the way. Or maybe it’ll fade with time.
We’ll see…
