Some of Stevie Wonder’s rap between songs on the show from 74 that I’m listening to kinda jumped out at me, while I was reading and thinking about what you had to say and the conversations that you started with this nugget of honest reflection.

It’s a shame that we have to build a world of make believe in our souls. It’s a shame that people have to escape from reality by getting high. Maybe some day, surely not in my lifetime, maybe someday we might come together. I hope that through my music, through my expression, singing and writing, you all can feel and understand how I feel, that I may be reaching out and grabbing the ideas people who will not be able to speak on this microphone, talk to the many people that I’ve been able to because of wonderful you.

George, every day, I am finding it more and more true that “you don’t get to pick who you move“. To be aware that you are, though? That weighs heavily on whether or not I’m doing it right. Likely I need to cut loose of that even.

As someone who just posted on Saturday about how Crack Took my DAD and my brother away. Please believe. Man.
It comes when it comes, not a moment sooner.

I get the very strong impression that you’re a deep thinker. Partly because you obviously are. Partly, I think, because you cultivate that image. So I could go on about *retch* your personal brand. I guess it depends on what your mission here is. I set my standards low, personally. ;)

One of my mantras is “small imperfect start.” Which is exactly what you just did. Hell, throw some stuff in a draft and save it for later. I have a lot of those, too. Some revisited, some not. Still sitting in draft mode. But I started.

That’s my opinion, as someone who doesn’t consider themselves a “writer” by any stretch.

Vergel, I feel you on the, “get off the dream of writing that one amazing post“. A lot of times, it is difficult to remember that I won’t be aware of who my pieces will resonate with. You are correct in that I just need to lay down pencil to page, regardless.

Kathryn, let me take this moment right now to encourage you in your hustle — you have already begun the journey with your screenplay and drama (which I loved). Now is the time to keep that momentum on fast-forward. Marinate.

Trolling through youtube I found a bunch of videos that I liked, wrote about it… suddenly I’m getting tons of google traffic from people searching out that content. Currently I’m doing reno’s on my house…. I also ride a motorcycle I blog about whatever is on my mind…

The epic posts definitely add to my blog… but all of them good bad or boring seem to attract some portion of traffic. Different days, different times in the season deliver different readers. Some who stick around and read more… some who just click and leave.

But if you don’t write anything,…. you won’t ever know.

Get off the dream of writing that one amazing post… every post is amazing to the person who’s looking for that information. And no matter what you write,… you’ll do it with your voice and slant it in your tone. Which in the end, is why you write in the first place… to share your views of the world.
