For the Conscious Writer
A Collection of Thoughts for Writers on a Journey This will be a collection of lessons I’ve learned on the way. They were initially written for my past self but I need to hear them now too. The point of these writings are for encouragement and guidance to those who write for the purpose ofContinue reading “For the Conscious Writer”
Have a Go To Beverage
For the Conscious Writer Rituals, anthropologists will tell us, are about transformation. The rituals we use for marriage, baptism or inaugurating a president are as elaborate as they are because we associate the ritual with a major life passage, the crossing of a critical threshold, or in other words, with transformation. Abraham Verghese As aContinue reading “Have a Go To Beverage”
On Art and its Purpose
On Art and its Purpose Photo by gustavo centurion on Unsplash I used to be offended when people misunderstood my work, then I came to realize that the evolution of thought is what art is all about. Not that it’s about being misunderstood but it’s about setting the idea free and allowing it to be whatever it becomes. It’s notContinue reading “On Art and its Purpose”
The Whole Artist
Can’t be seen in one piece of art Photo by Martino Pietropoli on Unsplash When you look at an artist’s work, you can’t look at one piece and know the whole artist. One piece of work is just a bleep on the radar. Especially in today’s world. You can’t just look at one post, or one blog, orContinue reading “The Whole Artist”

If it did, it could only be freedom for one person because it’s impossible for a man to be completely free without infringing upon another mans freedoms. Unless of courseContinue reading “Here’s Your Freedom”
Art or Die
Creating art keeps me from suffering an internal death. If I was to stop creating, for me that would be a spiritual suicide. So when I say die, as in “Art or die,” it’s a metaphorical death. When I don’t write, I get all groggy and lack interest in being alive alive. My brain starts toContinue reading “Art or Die”
“Art In My World”
Art is an exchange of ideas. Something I love about art is that its message can evolve and grow as the art is passed down from the creator. When I first began to write, I used to be offended when people misunderstood my work. Then, I came to realize that the evolution of thought isContinue reading ““Art In My World””
Trust Your Art
As artists, it’s important to value the process but it’s trusting in your art that helps deliver it to world. When I find myself doubting my art, it’s brings me down. I get writers block. I can get overly frustrated while I’m creating so I can’t get it finished. And that’s when creating isn’t funContinue reading “Trust Your Art”
