One thing I do to become a better writer is to continually put myself in uncomfortable situations.
Look beyond what you’re taught. Do things beyond your routine. Great artists never became great artists for being comfortable all their lives.
I think our mistake comes from the fact that we think our celebrity role models merely make a lot of money and have a lot of fun. Great artists have struggled to get where they are and continually struggle to remain doing what they do. Believe it or not, there’s a lot of pain behind what they show the world.
Here's some stuff I recommend:
Scar Tissue details the life of Anthony Kiedis, the lead singer of Red Hot Chilli Peppers.
Fuelled with sex, drugs and highly fucked up situations, you'll gain a stronger insight into the life behind one of my favourite bands.
Ham on Rye, by Charles Bukowski, is a terrific book. It provides a more relatable message than Catcher in the Rye.
Charles Bukowski is the ultimate outcast. I love him for his honesty. The world isn't a poem and people aren't perfect. He doesn't pretend to be anyone else. His writing is simple, honest, funny, raw.
Californication follows the messed up life of writer Hank Moody as he half-heartedly tries to get his life back together by drinking and having a lot of sex. I recommend watching season one. Season two and three aren't as good.
Bye!
