Toast to all the bad art
I'd like to take a moment to raise my glass to all the bad art out there.
The exhibit I saw a few years ago featuring a TV focused on hands playing a violin. G-A-D. Those notes, over and over again. In a loop.
Battlefield Earth.
The free Kindle downloads I've checked out late at night, unsure whether I couldn't follow the plot because it was 3am or because it made no sense. And it was the latter.
The famous author who recently put out a novel that, just, unravelled. Started out so funny and compelling, then lost it's way until it ended with such a tiny whimper.
I have to say I FIND IT INSPIRING!
If it weren't for all the terrible art out there, the nonsensical character developments and bad endings and incomprehensibly boring exhibits and let's not forget the impossibly Not Funny romantic comedies! They deserve a whole blog in and of themselves -- the unlikable shrewish leading ladies and the cardboard cutout leading men that form the couple no one could possibly wish well.
If it weren't for all of these pieces of... art blazing ahead of me on the trail I might never have self-published my e-book "Christmas in Wine Country" on Amazon.
But, I figured, if they all could do it, why can't I???
If they can air their dirty laundry which no one could possibly want to see and might actually wish they could forget afterwards--or at least get back the time that they devoted to consuming/interacting with said art -- then, surely, there's room for a happy little book which has a decent chance of making you laugh at some point? Perhaps even multiple times!
So, a big THANK YOU to all the creators out there who've lacked the inhibition, the self-criticism, the self-censorship that might have prevented airtime!
If there's room in the world for Keeping up with the Kardashians, then Gosh Darn It, there's room for "Christmas in Wine Country!"
