Write and Art On, My Crazy Friends
Do your writing, do your art, and be a creative force in a mad mad mad world.
Whether you’re a professional or a hobbyist, the best thing that you can do for yourself, and for the world, is your art.
Artistic expression is a powerful tool that can inspire and empower like nothing else in the world. Creativity expresses itself in art.
Spend any amount of time watching the news or perusing social media, and you will probably start to wonder about the state of the world. Why are those guys bombing those other guys? What happened to intellectual discourse? How can so many people be so gullible? It’s all too easy to see this world as going mad.
What can anyone do in the face of this insanity to change it? When all is said and done, very little. However, one of the best things that we can do is create. Write your stories, write your truth, and make your art whether it’s in fiber, wood, paint, clay, glass, metal, or whatever other medium you work in.
In other words, write and art on, my crazy friends.
Make good choices
More than a decade ago, I stopped watching the news. I also stopped reading news websites, newspapers, and all other forms of media.
