To Create is to Survive

There is no one who has said this- according to Google

Yet watching the trailer to The New Look on Apple TV https://tv.apple.com/us/show/the-new-look/umc.cmc.6m0i5dcn60uzl206qq6ibomeh

The person who plays Dior says something similar to the above title of this article

I would change it to

To Create is to Live!

When i searched that the results were

To Create is to Live Twice

By Albert Camus from The Myth of Sisyphus

(What one has to do to find out WHERE a quote came from!!! 🤬)

Albert Camus is Anti Christian

And I don’t blame anyone who is, because so called Christians have done many horrible things in Jesus’ name.

And the Artist Community fought against the regime of it’s time

Difficult to find such now

Many Authors are getting their books snatched (identity theft), someone sharing their story for beta reasons

Has this person beating the true author to the copyright

Tis why it is VERY Important to date and even time your notes! (& get a non disclosure agreement signed first)

(Part of a Self Publishing group on fb and i am made aware of all types of scams!)

A few in the group just want to be published! Not caring about $!

Or so they say

Who doesn’t want acknowledgment? And respect for what they have done?

Yes, so many groups on fb, creative ones, geared to make money!

When, for instance, some of us, just want to perfect the craft!

A couple of groups i dropped because of the focus on selling!

Presentation, marketing and how to price!

How to price is #1 question!

Covers, #1 for books! (Finding someone who makes covers that sell, or how to make one that does! (A- what do you think about this one? And this one? And this?…)

So!

I struggle to even do it!

I can write, i can draw (taught myself, by just doing it! I am scared of the attention, the demands, the asks! Like a favorite Author is pestered for the next one! When! WHEN!!!

(As a fan i feel them)

As an Artist (a Designer), a Writer i am SO glad it is a NOT me?

What can I handle such pressure with?

Being me

Ya know, Spiritual stuff

I got practice! 😊

Beyond Phd in Spirituality

I don’t know how to make my art me!

I am looking into it tho

I am liking Domestika https://www.google.com/aclk?sa=l&ai=DChcSEwjDzcy0zLaFAxXCXEcBHe-0CKAYABAAGgJxdQ&ae=2&sph&sig=AOD64_3iQHpqb9avL51-_6540qvybA7SQA&q&adurl&ved=2ahUKEwjzuMW0zLaFAxW7FFkFHc_cAxYQ0Qx6BAgEEAEhttps://www.google.com/aclk?sa=l&ai=DChcSEwjDzcy0zLaFAxXCXEcBHe-0CKAYABAAGgJxdQ&ae=2&sph&sig=AOD64_3iQHpqb9avL51-_6540qvybA7SQA&q&adurl&ved=2ahUKEwjzuMW0zLaFAxW7FFkFHc_cAxYQ0Qx6BAgEEAE

They seem to have more depth to their Creative courses (and currently on sale for $5.99 each course)(not getting paid for this- just check it out if you are a Creative (like myself) and want a little help? Or? Some other creative thing has your eye?

Just like this blog-

Fans, Followers get kinda demanding

I have WordPress algorithms to tell me how many people like such and such (giving me grief)

Doing something creative everyday? On purpose? Is really hard for me

I used to journal every day

When i was younger

(In a way, this blog becomes that)

Except i was doing it 7 days a week, no breaks, no Sabbath’s

I prefer quality over quantity

Yet, after getting everyone use to daily (or once a week if you just read 1 of the 7), it was difficult to stop!

Difficult to figure out how long? I should break for…? Still not worth it?

I have been wondering about my Self Esteem lately

Where is it when it comes to my creativity?

I used to be able to make up a short story at a drop of a hat!

Finally filmed my Sock Puppetry and…

The ‘magic’ was gone?

Sugar for the lemonade is…gone?

Suffering too much?

I don’t want to put my anger on display

To have that be my focus

I enjoy my art,

So Why Don’t i DO IT?

I finally did some art just for me tho

Watching Really Love the struggling Artist is advised to save a painting, from each showing for himself.

And he said,

I never thought about that

From Really Love

And his advisor said,

We never do

From Really Love

Some artist in the show mentioned how many paintings he made that never made it

Unfinished, weren’t right, etc

And my hand shakes at the thought of it!

I …

Wow! That would make a powerful picture…!
