Science or Art?

Sat Dec 13, 2008, 5:11 PM
So, I have to say, at this point in my life, it is becoming very tempting to abandon artistic aspirations. Not because I have given up, but because I may have found something I'm as passionate or more passionate about. Science.

Right now it is a conflict in my mind whether I should focus my life on writing or whether I should let myself become completely enveloped in science, specifically Physics.

I have decided, no matter which way I decide, I am pursuing a Doctorate in Physics. The way I see it, I can still be a writer, and perhaps will even have more time to be a writer, while working in the field. But although that sounds like a good idea, I am unsure whether I adore science so much that I shouldn't devote my life to it.

I should say for the record that I am very passionate about writing. The act of creation is something that is exhilarating. To make new worlds, to explore emotions, to question reality through hypothetical characters. I am always looking at the world as a writer.

The Uncertainty Principle or the Deus Ex Machina?

Ah well. We shall see.

Hey there! It's been a long time since we've talked!

I added you on AIM. You should jump on some time.

Over the piano was printed a notice: Please do not shoot the pianist. He is doing his best.
Dan, haven't talked to you in forever and just wanted to stop by to say "hey." I hope all is well with you. :glomp:

I haven't talked to you in ages.

Quit your job and talk to me more.

Only half-kidding.

Come to China, we'll roam the countryside as Kung Fu masters for hire. Or, if you will, "thugs".

Just thought I'd let you know that you're book is great and that whatever problems you might be having right now as far, as the story line is concerned, I'm positive you'll work it out and that the end result will be AMAZING!!! btw you never comment on anything I post...you know I only made one because of you so what's that all about? Good luck on your book/novel, whichever it turns out to be.
