“The task of art is to transform what happens to us continuously — transforming all that into symbols, by forming it in music, into something which can last in man’s memory. We have to fulfill our duties with the reader/viewer, if not we feel very unhappy. But in the case of the writer, or in the case of every artist, he is happy to see — many times — transmuting all that into symbols. Those symbols could be colors, or forms, it could be sounds in case of the musician, or words: fables, stories, poetry.That is the task of a writer — it is continuous. When you try to work at such an hour, at this time, one continuously receives something from the external world. All that has to be transmuted, and it will eventually transmute. At any time [this revelation] can reach.This revelation can appear anytime. Besides, he also works when he dreams. In addition, the life of a writer is a lonely one. You want to be alone. And after years, if the stars are propitious, one finds himself at the center of a vast circle of invisible friends. Friends that you will never know physically, but who love you. That is a reward more than enough.” https://x.com/arealmofwonder/status/2054858006232244412?s=20
