Just a few thoughts to mull on today. I wish I knew where this originated from so I could thank this lady. What great advice

A monday pick up
Repeat to yourself: You are an artist. You are an artist…..
A reminder for your sunday
Probably my favorite quotes (that is wrongly attributed to Kurt Vonnegut) .
For writer’s block. For life
Just a quick thought to get you through your Thursday, curteous of The Oatmeal.
What buy art really buys
I ran across this image today (posted by an artist friend of mine on facebook ) and I fell in love with it.
What do you think? What else does buy art entail that isn’t covered below?
Irregardless, it’s the way I write
I never found the rigidity in our language, never had time for it. While others debated the rules of “who” vs “whom” or if a comma should be come before “and”, I was writing poetry on the bathroom walls.
There stuffy air discussing arbitrary rules like an Iron Maiden, a mute screaming.
I hug irregardless, wrapped him around me like a warm blanket. I write in prosetry, told every genre to shove it as I picked them apart.
And I’m not going to stop.
Language is Google directions, we writers blindly follow.
For a while, you need them, those first fledgling timid steps , just learning the skills need to navigate.
After a while, it’s time to toss them out the window and just drive.
Language is the roads we cruise down. We should take the detours, swim around in under-discovered canyons while basking in the glow of our own imagination.
After all, rules are only rules because somewhere along the line, we decided they should be.
Nothing is set in stone.
