Writing – The Foundation.

Over the course of my three decades in creative media, I am continually reminded of the importance of writing.  Sometimes it’s just jotting down an idea that pops in my head, or waking up from a dream and making a quick note so it can be remembered tomorrow. Often it’s a concerted effort to compile notes and ideas into something formal: a script, a song, or a concept that needs to be birthed. 

I have worked with countless creative geniuses who, from their mouths, could spew tales that would make Spielberg blush! But that’s where they ended. Those ideas were never written down, never flushed out, never turned into reality.  Conversely, I have witnessed others, some much less talented, putting pen to paper, documenting their ideas, and ultimately seeing those ideas come to fruition.  The foundation is poured when we take the time to “write it down.”  ©RSJ
