“Essentially we are all verbs but because of the ego (or how society labels us) most people view themselves as nouns. When we apply this limitation to the creative arts, or more specifically writing, we can observe that writers will create their best art when they consider themselves simply as verbs, as in, "writers write." But if writers experience fame and fortune at a young age they will often fall victim to their ego, as in they have now been elevated by the masses to a noun. "I am now a writer, as accepted by the objective test of society because I have made a sufficient amount of money at it." The noun therefore has definitions or boundaries and therefore limitations, thus it is highly likely that the future art created will not be as free or powerful in the minds of the readers or observers. This irony applies not only to art but to most aspects connected to an individual in their lives.”
