Let\u2019s welcome back monthly columnist\u00a0Catharine Bramkamp<\/a> as she shares with us \u201cSelling Out for the Holidays!\u201d Enjoy!<\/p>\n

***<\/p>\n

Remember A Charlie Brown Christmas<\/a>?\u00a0<\/strong> The theme was we had moved away from the real meaning of Christmas in favor of holiday lights and gaudy Christmas trees.\u00a0 Watching this as a small child, I had no idea what being too commercial meant, apart from the actual commercials that interrupted the show.<\/p>\n

In the sixties, Christmas was, apparently, too commercial and the real meaning of Christmas had been lost.<\/p>\n

Except it wasn\u2019t lost at all.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Christmas as we know it\u00a0was always a commercial exercise.<\/p>\n

Since the Victorian Age, and those Victorians were very busy inventing much of what we slavishly assume as always, Christmas was advertised as: 1.\u00a0 A family holiday so people would stay home and not roam the streets at all hours of the day banging on doors and demanding grog. \u00a0 2.\u00a0 A reason to shop thus shoring up the merchants as well as the economy during the dead of winter.\u00a0 Instead of drinking during the longest nights of the year, spend some of that money and time buying lovely gifts for the family and stay home to open all of them, just like the newly invented Santa did in the poem.<\/p>\n

Commercialism is the whole point of Christmas.<\/strong><\/p>\n

What does that mean to writers and artists?\u00a0 We can participate fully, spend the money, light the tree, exchange the gifts, fight the traffic and be full participants in the culture that has grown up around us.\u00a0 Or we can treat the whole thing very much like the adult voices in the Charlie Brown shows – wank, wank, wank.\u00a0 We don\u2019t have to understand.\u00a0 We don\u2019t even need to listen.<\/p>\n

Like the holidays,<\/strong> we are stuck in a season that conflates commercial success with artistic worth. A work is only as good as its asking price.\u00a0 Predating the inventive Victorians is a more pernicious Puritan ideal –\u00a0 God delivers cash to\u00a0the righteous. Or the righteous make cash by delivering God. I\u2019m not clear on the exchange rate.\u00a0 But the idea is embedded in the very essence of being American.<\/p>\n

Every writing conference I hear the question about how to turn my life into a movie. Every. Conference.\u00a0 It\u2019s not a question about art, it\u2019s not a question about the process or the joy of spending days upon days in the creative zone.\u00a0 It\u2019s not even about identity (who doesn\u2019t want to self-identify as a writer?). It\u2019s about the straightest, fastest road to fame and fortune.\u00a0 The commercial sell out.<\/p>\n

But as you may suspect,<\/strong> selling out is not as easy as it looks.<\/p>\n

Selling out means you manage your work on a different scale and with different expectations.<\/p>\n

You are no longer\u00a0the solo worker,<\/strong> the person with little more than a laptop and a dream. Commercial artists are themselves a commodity.\u00a0 Famous writers are part of a large team of editors, publicists, social media managers and their publishers. Once published, the author is no longer the inventor of the book but rather, the spokesperson for the product.<\/p>\n

Some authors are very happy\u00a0to reach the commercial level of their efforts. They are good at the sale.\u00a0 They are excellent at promotion and happy to do it.<\/p>\n

For other authors,<\/strong> selling their book and launching into the commercial requirements of keeping that book in the public eye is as angst-ridden as Charlie Brown\u2019s search for December happiness.<\/p>\n

This is not to say, don\u2019t publish. But publish and promote according to your own heart and ideals. You are not Santa. You are an artist.\u00a0 You have probably figured out what you love to do during the holidays and have jettisoned the rest. You can do the same with your art. Promote what you can, but keep the work close, write because it feeds your soul.\u00a0 Give your work to the world as a gift rather than an exchange.\u00a0 Christmas may be too commercial but you don\u2019t have to be.<\/p>\n
