Have you ever been thinking about a movie you watched and thought, “that was a good movie I should find it so I can rewatch it.” Then after an intense search you find it. You get your popcorn ready, get comfortable on the couch, and begin what you expect to be an exciting blast ofContinue reading “The New Past”

Artistic Chaos
My wife and I are both artists. She is brilliant when it comes to decoration. The other night she showed me a picture of a display she’s made at work and I was blown away by how awesome it looked, then she explained her process behind and I was entranced. I can’t measure up toContinue reading “Artistic Chaos”
The Story Release
I think I’ve mentioned my childhood a lot on this blog. I remember so many instances as a kid just finding ways to express my creativity. Being creative was a deep part of me that I always thought would disappear when I became and adult and often times I repressed as an adult. For soContinue reading “The Story Release”
Creativity
I think it would be safe to say everyone has a creative bone in their bodies. Some people’s creativity comes in what they make. Some peoples creativity come in how they make something. Other peoples creativity comes in how they keep things in order. When I was really young, and my parents were making meContinue reading “Creativity”
Rise Up
Honestly I thought this blog would be easy to write. I was going to base it off the quote “Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall” by Confucius. Earlier this week I posted a more contemporary quote from Rocky with a similar tone. I love the lesson.Continue reading “Rise Up”

Today that came in the form of a Zedephant. If you were to ask me what one of myContinue reading “Zedephants”

“To be, or not to be: that is the question” Hamlet says as he contemplates the meanings of life and death. That’s a big question we all ask ourselves these days. It’s a big question in the world right now. While we may not be contemplating life and death, we often contemplate our purpose inContinue reading “To be, or not to be”
Inspiration
I think inspiration is a fitting topic for a Sunday morning. Even if you’re not religious Sunday is a day we seek out inspiration. We’ve had Saturday to rest from work, we’ve had a night were we’ve gotten plenty of sleep, or not enough. Sunday can be whatever we want it to be. Now thisContinue reading “Inspiration”
Write. Write. Write and Rewrite.
In the process of writing, something that is both very important, and sometimes extremely debilitating is rewriting. First of all, rewriting is important, necessary in most cases. The first draft should be information dump. You want to get everything out on the page so you don’t miss all the amazing parts of your imagination. ForContinue reading “Write. Write. Write and Rewrite.”
Writer’s block, writer’s block. Always got writer’s block!
Writer’s block is a funny thing. I think when we hear that short phrase we immediately think, creativity block. Writer’s block is more than that. Writer’s block is when you’ve written, then gotten occupied with life, so now when you return to your project you’re wondering how it all fits together again. Writer’s block isContinue reading “Writer’s block, writer’s block. Always got writer’s block!”
