Areté

Make Art with arete.

Be an Artist with areté.  

Just by saying areté you will have it.

Arete (Ancient Greek: ἀρετή), in its basic sense, means excellence of any kind. In its earliest appearance in Greek, this notion of excellence was ultimately bound up with the notion of the fulfillment of purpose or function: the act of living up to one's full potential.

Areté is explicitly linked with human knowledge, where the expressions "virtue is knowledge" and "Areté is knowledge" are used interchangeably. The highest human potential is knowledge and all other human abilities are derived from this central capacity. If Areté is knowledge and study, the highest human knowledge is knowledge about knowledge itself; in this light, the theoretical study of human knowledge, which Aristotle called "contemplation," is the highest human ability and happiness." -Richard Hooker  *** thanks Wikipedia ****

And from Areté we get Art.  Art in the purest essence of the word, in every expression.

September

I can't believe it's September already.  This year went by so fast.

Working on my screenplays today...

I'm updating my opus project PHARAOH. I want it to read more like a story.   I am reducing the formatting to make it flow better and read easier.  Watch for new developments on the Pharaoh website.  I hope to make PHARAOH into a novel, and a comic series, as well as a movie trilogy.  Dream big, right?

Also doing a polish of my TV Pilot "Project Starry Knight". I may change the title to "The Cube".  I Googled the title and found a 1969 cult surrealist movie titled "Cube".   I am curious to watch it now, since I am debating a similar title.  I'm hoping it's on Netflix.

I'll be sending out scripts soon!  Can't wait to hear what you think!
