Time

Time… is not on your side. That will not change.  Creativity is a fickle beast.  Sometimes it strikes when you aren’t ready, and if you don’t act on it…it’s gone If you don’t write it down. If you don’t draw it out.  If you don’t capture it. It’s just gone.  The crap luck of that, […]

I’d like to take a moment to list the qualifications that you need to be a creative. 1. (Expletive) End of list.  What you need is a desire to create and a willingness to put up with all the B.S. (read as B-S) in order to see your project through.  Sometimes the art itself is

A Creative Extinction

Right now. You can probably find an AI to do some elements, if not all, of your job. Do you feel threatened? Is the threat that a computerized thought processor can collect the components needed for the recipe in seconds, or that some people think so little of your craft that they figure a bot

We’ve all heard the phrase dress for the “job you want.” Along with the adage, “fake it ’til you make it.’ But what about the people who are just…fake? If you’ve sunk your teeth into the creative field. Skipped right past dipping your toe in, and leapt with both feet straight into the deep end…then

The Subtle Art of Self Sabotage

The World isn’t out to get You. You’re just doing a great job of defeating yourself.  I do it.  You do it.  We’re all guilty of it.  Spending all of that time worrying about finishing your project, does not count as time spent on the project.  Those hours are not billable.  Get it done.  It
