Blood Magus III: The Emperor

JamOut; A Retrospective

Sun Dec 20, 2009, 12:07 PM
  • Mood: Pride
  • Listening to: This Is Halloween (talk about seasonal XD)
They say "write what you know", and JamOut, What is (arguably) the best thing that I have ever done, is me taking an 18 month period to spit in the face of that very logical piece of advice. Let's break it down, bit by bit, shall we?

Remember in the beginning, when Jayce had no friends, no social interaction except with his boss? Yeah, that's never been me. Ever since before preschool, I've always had at least one friend that I can talk to or hang out with. That person or people have changed over time, in fact I no longer have any contact whatsoever with my very first friend, but there's some very good reasons for that. Nonetheless, I've never been alone, like Jason has for mostly his entire life until this story begins.
Next, the music. Yes, I'm a guitarist, but I'm not a very good one. I know enough to stumble my way through the rhythm part for basic rock or metal songs. Jayce is more along the lines of :icondeadlymetal:, he's got the skills and the knowledge necessary to be a performer.
And of course, the most important part, the romance. I've got little to no experience in this area, due to lack of confidence, lack of interest, and the fact that the stuff I'm interested in gets a blank stare from 90% of the local population.

And yet, judging by the comment sections for my stories, even with the sizable handicap of going against the most basic of conventional wisdom, I've managed to write something creative, that people are actually interested in. I don't want my story to be viewed as something I wrote to get a point across, it's just a piece of escapism from someone who is an extremely well-versed escapist. But if you're the kind of person who can't live without analyzing the enjoyable elements out of something in search of some secret meaning, I'll save you some time and tell you the closest thing you'll find to one:

When you're making something from scratch, be it a song, a painting, a story, a video game, anything at all, there is no right or wrong. The realm of creation is an abstract thing, there are no precedents.

If you really want to have a sub-textual meaning to apply to JamOut, here it is:

In all things creative and/or artistic, FUCK CONVENTIONAL WISDOM.
