Become a Legendary Artist By Mastering Spontaneity

The secret sauce behind viral art.

Spontaneity is a surreal experience.

It’s not something one person can describe on a whim. It happens at the moment, then it flutters away. Whether we like it or not, everyone has a dose of spontaneity in them. How many times have you made an impulsive decision with no regard for the consequences? That’s spontaneity, my friend, and we can’t make great art without it.

Here’s why.

We always think our creations aren’t good enough.

Edit. Edit. Refine. Refine. Polish. Polish.

It’s like getting a newborn child ready for an extravagant dinner. You’d be damned if your baby was seen in a crappy diaper. You need to spruce them up in some capacity because your baby is a small representation of you.

This mindset has dug us in a hole.

Why are we polishing to perfection when no one has seen our work yet? It doesn’t make sense to tailor your work for the enjoyment of the general public when you aren’t the general public. Then, after people do all that editing and refining, they’ll get pissed when their art isn’t received well.

In reality, human beings don’t like perfection.

It’s the reason so many breakup songs do well. Everyone wants to see the train wreck because that’s something they can relate to.

We’re contradicting ourselves to hell when we try to make our art “perfect” when human beings are far from perfect and can’t relate to it.

This leads me to my next point.

Every profound piece of art came from spontaneous combustion.

There are a million examples of this, but I’m just going to go with Guns N’ Roses today because I have an appetite for destruction (pun intended).

The 80s hard rock band, Guns N’ Roses, reached massive mainstream success with their 1987 album, Appetite For Destruction. One of their biggest hits from the album, “Welcome to The Jungle”, was recorded in just three takes. Slash once said in an interview that the song took three hours to make. That’s not all.

“We did the whole album that way. That’s where spontaneity comes from. If you don’t get it by then, you’ve lost the feel of it.” — Slash

You can’t get back that moment when you create art.

I’ve noticed this a lot with my articles. If I think of an idea, I have to write about it that day, or else I won’t feel compelled to write it later on. If I force myself to write it, the article will lose that genuine feeling from before. Heck, the most popular article I made was written at 2 am in grandma’s basement right before I fell asleep.

When we’re so wrapped up in the moment of creating art, we don’t give a fuck about perfection or anything else.

It just happens.

Not only can you make better art, but you can make it much faster with spontaneity.

Spontaneity happens in quick bursts (hence spontaneous combustion).

When you got it, you got it and nothing can stop you. You can create mass amounts of art if you have a bunch of those bursts. But perfectionists hate spontaneity because these bursts can happen minutes or weeks apart from each other.

That’s why it’s crucial to practice spontaneity to facilitate more of these bursts.

Here’s how to practice spontaneity:

Practice your craft at the same time every day without any preparation (it takes 90 days to create a full-on habit)
Put a time constraint on it (for example, I write for one hour a day)
Stop and come back to it the next day if you run out of time

I couldn’t freestyle my articles as I do now at the beginning of my writing career. It took me a couple of months before I got the hang of it. Now I’ve trained my brain to streamline an article in an hour or less.

Practicing spontaneity will keep your creative juices flowing so you can create your art faster. It forces you to disregard perfection. Disregarding perfection creates virality.

Closing Thought

“Good art” is subjective.

We always think polishing to perfection is the best way to go. But human beings don’t like perfection. Imperfection is something we all relate to. A lot of that seemingly imperfect art is made in spontaneous combustion. It’s about the moment.

So what are you waiting for?

Live in the moment now.
