Just as we don't spend a lot of time worrying about how all those poets out there are going to monetize their poetry, the same is true for most bloggers.

It's entirely possible that there won't be a standing ovation at the end of your journey. That's okay. At least you lived.

When you set down the path to create art, whatever sort of art it is, understand that the path is neither short not easy. That means you must determine if the route is worth the effort. If it's not, dream bigger.

The problem with competition is that it takes away the requirement to set your own path, to invent your own method, to find a new way.

Art is never defect-free. Things that are remarkable never meet spec, because that would make them standardized, not worth talking about.

I believe that uncertainty is really my spirit's way of whispering, I'm in flux. I can't decide for you. Something is off-balance here.

We have little choice but to move beyond quality and seek remarkable, connected, and new. Remarkable, as you've already figured out, demands initiative.
