You might be wondering what the title "no new angle on sushi" means, hell it is probably the only reason you opened this blog. Let me tell you, the professionals of the written word industry are in agreement. That, when you write it, it needs to be from a fresh or different perspective. When you read, let me ask, "What do you read about? Sports, politics, art, fantasy novels....? "OK" you say "but what does this have to do with sushi?" When is the last time you read an article on sushi? Not lately, if ever I would argue. So there, that's why. That is why nobody writes about sushi. Because it has explored in the writing community and there is just nothing left to uncover that is new. And writers need to be new and offer something different. Remember...creativity is important. So...the experts instead write about all the things we read. Things about sports, politics, fashion and those fantasy novels we all cherish. I am of course, being facetious. But sarcasm in my writing seems to work well for me. So in order to follow the experts and only write things that are a little less explored I will cease my low and under-appreciated wit. From now serious will be my new catch-tone. I am going to write about the things you read about. Because my experts tell me my writing is for the audience. From now on...serious sports, politics, fashion and those gods damn fantasy books. Straight forward and easy for me to write so I can easily accomplish my thoughts on the paper. Serious and easy for you to understand, because I have to account for my audience. Let's face it, not everybody will be writers in their day. No offense its not my words, this is the experts talking. Maybe after my serious straight-forward fantasy novel gets published I will be considered an expert and I can help change the rules to something that reflects more of my opinion. But until then, my writing is still under developed; hard to follow and is about subjects with no new angle. I better stick to sports and politics; hmm, they must not run out of angles. Safe, another thing a writer should be. Until now, I did not even think about that. After all, you could be allergic to seafood!
Who wants to read about something somebody else will not see value in? That is not fair. It's a good thing there is so much fashion, art and BS fantasy to invent so that we have a reason to be literate. Let my words sink in… "Be creative and do it just like the experts". After all they are getting paid to be this stupid. Do not write about sushi, we know what that is. Write about the redskin's new asst. coach and his "new" strategy. Write about the "popular" color for shoes this season. Writers are mass communicators and the writer's goal should be to help people. Helping people like keeping them looking fabulous or maybe at least supplying some inside info on which team to bet on. It's hard to help people when you are all alone. Above all remember if it is not being done it's not worth doing otherwise experts would be in our schools getting paid to teach us how it SHOULD be done, with that ever sought "new and fresh angle".
Maybe as a novice writer I should pay more attention to what the professionals are doing. That might help me be more new and fresh like them. I could develop a better sense of new angles and fresh thoughts by reading about them.
By the way, new and fresh is in this season.Footnotes:
