And just as well that the storyteller goes back to her typewriter, steno
pad, imagination, to make a story more tell-able. It's also called 'craft,'
and improvement is in direct correlation to what the audience thinks.
Sure, you can attach monikers like "marketing" and "propaganda" to it, but
that's more of a subjective call on your part, rather than some sort of
misty translation of the definition of art.
My purpose as an artist is to tell stories, and tell stories well. Improving
the stories is inherent to my art, and therefore part of its purist form. I
guess maybe I flinch at the negativity of throwing in terms like propaganda
and marketing, because sometimes that's what art is all about. Straight up,
no lie.
It's all chicken or the egg, baby.
