Do you get jealous of people who work in a different medium?

I'm interested in thought and expression. Loyalty to particular mediums is juvenile

Of course, I wish i liked painting but maybe i would if i pursued it, i'd love to paint.

lit and music go together hand in hand with the writing elements.

you should pick up an instrument and get lessons.

But mastery of a medium is important in conveying a message. Every type of art has certain mechanics or structure required to effectively communicate. Once you choose to invest your time in a certain art, you're inevitably sacrificing time you could spend mastering a different medium that could be better suited in delivering the kind of creative work you're trying to do.

I wish I were more talented in visual mediums that aren't photography. I enjoy photography as a hobby, but even with heavy photoediting I can't actually put what's in my head into a photo. I don't like the idea of limiting myself to one medium, but even my handwriting is utter shit.

Btw incase anyone didn't know, keroac had some of the best spoken word put out in history, being /lit/ minded helps writing insanely.

One could also argue that investment in a variety of arts has a synthetic benefit.
Many classic composers were voracious readers and I wonder if their work would have been possible without that influence. In turn I think its unquestionable that music has had a great influence on the progress of literature

Good argument. I guess the key now is make enough money creatively to allow more time to be spent pursuing side projects that aren't going to make you money.

Trust me, lit is the best medium, it's the only art form that values intelligence. Every other art, might have the visceral audience, but they tend to be total retards.

Endlessly jealous. It eats through my mind

No. But I do draw and play few instruments. I am no great musician or artist, but both bring me joy and pleasure.
