• Developing Your Style

    What does style have to do with insanity?

    Isn't style doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results? Of course, Einstein meant to define insanity, but doing the same thing over and over again, creating different results indeed leaves you and your biographers with some kind of a long line, a red thread, a bigger picture of you. Style.

    Also, what's insanity without style anyway?

    So what's the secret of style? Repetition. As long as you fear repeating yourself, you are experiencing one cycle. Maybe it is the first, the initial one. Embrace repetition once a cycle is over. Style, your style, is born when you revisit your cycles.

    You wrote a hundred songs? Painted a hundred walls?

    Do it again. And again. And again. Repetition changes. Your job is to sharpen your profile which enables others to eventually recognize style.

    Bounce everything off of everything else. Galvanize the results. Revisit, reconsider and contextualize until you find a common theme, that red thread, the residue of your idea.

    What's left over is your style.
