For no particular reason, the other day I decided to start educating myself about Broadway musicals. I was in the pit orchestra in high school, and Iapos;ve seen the traveling production of Phantom of the Opera and a few film adaptations of musicals, but Iapos;m mostly pretty ignorant about musical theater. So, I started with YouTube clips of Stephen Sondheim stuff, and from there I went to Leonard Bernstein, and from there I found myself in a YouTube-Wikipedia cycle of research. Soon, I realized that I wasnapos;t watching and listening to musicals as much as I was watching interviews and documentaries and listening to podcasts and becoming more familiar with the lives and working habits of composers than I was with their actual work. And I was perfectly happy doing so.
I figure maybe itapos;s a writer thing? Being interested in stories about people above all else?
In any case, it got me thinking about why creative people whoapos;ve been lucky enough to try out different creative endeavors sometimes get drawn into one thing over others. For instance, I always liked to draw, and in high school I started to take cartooning a little bit seriously, at least insofar as I studied cartoonists and asked for fancy drawing supplies for my birthdays. And like I said, I was in band and orchestra, and even though I wasnapos;t very good, I really enjoyed playing and I could have invested more time and effort trying to get better at sight-reading and getting technically proficient. But in the end, cartooning and music both lost out to writing.
For those of you engaged in the arts -- music, literature, visual art, drama, whatever -- why do you think you were drawn to your particular field? Did you leave other creative fields behind to specialize in the one you ultimately chose? If youapos;re now pursuing more than one field beyond the hobbyist level, does one thing dominate the others? If so, why?
