There is nothing more frightening than when your schooling ends and your profession begin; no matter what's the field. This especially rings true for the creative artist. Take our profession, writing mythologies, we not only create myths but culture. Don't believe? Look at the way sales correspond with the social momentum. When we are needed most (just speaking of mythologist) society is in a very low place and needs a vehicle powerful enough to jump over the Grand Canyon of fear and negation. So, unlike the other genres, our writing slightly overlook cultural beliefs instead of confirming them, because we are making the path for the upcoming generational era. YA, the current hot iron, may present something different but it's contemporary and I don't believe it will have the emotional staying power of Myth. Meaning three thousands years from now I don't see a book such as "Everything, Everything" being held in the light that it is today.
There are so many things one must remember when starting their position in the world as a Mythologist Fellow. Our stories are information, but they come from a Source which is beyond us . . . half the time we know not what we did or how we got there. There is no constant updated manuals for the division of Fellow; one must follow their gut and throw caution to the wind. Especially since we are not our product, which is such the case for others in this emerging Age of Information. We are; however, the ones who lay the foundation and it is known, even as a Fellow, that if we crack the entire thing that the Unseen and Unnamed Creator is building will fall and the One has to start over. Not that I'm placing any more pressure on the shoulders of the mythologist, because history has proven that born unto the world are wordsmiths who know how to provide an experience of initiation when needed most. So, after relaxing know that there are a few tricks that have been passed on to our generation. Things which makes being a Fellow a little easier. Keeping the entire story in your mind while it is being channeled and kneed is impossible- don't try it; break it down into chucks. Start off with the first 5 pages, then the first 50, then each Act on its own, and don't worry about the middle because that is where all your action is going to go. Don't concern yourself with what order of societal advancement you're bringing to the banquet table of life. Remember this, you did not cook the dish being presented only delivering it. Leave what is God's to God and get out of the way. And know that those with ears to hear will be awaken by your professional myths and final presentations of imagination. Just do your best and turn fear into faith and negation into affirmation. Which can only be done by getting out there with our assigned products and try to sale, sale, sale. The longer you spend time with the masterpiece which you are attempting to market, the more you can love it, and the easier it becomes to sale. Also, other skills can be taught. Proper format, jargon, appearance, presentation, and the such, they will come with time. And aspects needed in the game of life will spill over into your proposal and product from other areas of living- such as keeping up with your reading. Fellowship isn't so bad; once the ball is rolling. Thanks for Listening! Sabrina Louise Andielle Crow Crew
