The best way to get started with writing is to write. A lot of the things I write are crap. Garbage. Lousy, silly, barely literate words and phrases. Half-baked ideas, notions, thoughts, and so on. I have, in my collection, about a dozen stories I started – and never finished. Some got a good way in. Others are a couple of paragraphs and maybe a basic layout for where I had thought to go. In
How is this even a question? Art is life. Art is an expression of the self that tends to get shared with others. Whatever medium it’s done in, whatever form it takes – art is life. A great deal of our history is found in art. Statuary, paintings, tapestries, plays, poems, books, scrolls, architecture, and many other historic items tell stories of a time long ago. Some of the art that is created is timeless.
Artists are frequently working on more than one project at a time. I currently have multiple writing projects underway. Every weekday I create a blog. Mondays are specifically about Positivity, Wednesdays are Pathwalking, and Fridays (or Saturdays) are about the craft itself. I also am posting other articles for the rest of the week, usually in the realm of conscious reality creation and mindfulness. Additionally, I am working on The Void Incursion. I have started

I hired someone to help me promote my work to a large number of reviewers. Reviews help to raise your visibility on Amazon – so more reviews are more good. This seemed like a worthwhile investment, and thus far a decent number of people have agreed to read and
Creatives who intend to make a living off their work need to consider developing and adjusting their approach – especially now. The world we live in has changed. It was sudden and unexpected – but the end result of the pandemic is that the world is not what it was. Nor can it return to how it was. What will it look like on the other side? I have no idea – and neither does
I have even more blogs for you to enjoy. Please visit my original blog website:
I post here twice weekly about my work with Positivity, Mindfulness, and Conscious Reality Creation. I’ve been blogging every week, without fail, since the beginning of 2012.
Mondays – Positivity (and related ideas for making choices and decisions in life).
Wednesdays – Pathwalking (my philosophy for consciously choosing how to live your life mindfully, on your terms).
