Would Any of My Ideas Be Something Worth Sharing?

October 26, 2021

Maybe the better question is why wouldn’t my ideas be worth sharing? I have a lot of different things going through my head. Some of them are stories for fantastical worlds. People, places, and situations that – as far as I know – exist only in my imagination. Others are a reflection of my perspective on reality. I have thoughts, feelings, and ideas about life, the Universe, and more that I know don’t just belong

Is One of the Ancient 9 Your Personal Creative Muse?

October 23, 2021

I sometimes wonder which – if any – of the muses speaks to me. The muse is upon me! I have this awesome idea to create this amazing thing! Okay, this is not true.

October 16, 2021

Attracting readers to put their eyes on my work is a challenge. It takes an odd and hard to explain combination of creation, marketing, meeting a need, being in the right place at the right time, and other

Should I Write for Free? Is There a Justification Why?

October 12, 2021

Being expected to create art or write for free to “get seen” is a slippery slope. Many years ago, a local magazine in the town I worked in asked me to write an article for them. Since I was looking for any opportunity to get published and get out there, I took it. I wrote the article, and the editor expressed her appreciation for my work. What was I paid? Nothing. But seeing my work
