How to fail a business.

Then, a day would come when I painted awful. Frustration would tug at me, and I would think I had lost my creative talent.

A Squall
I’ve come to understand writer’s block as a spectrum of experience. I haven’t done much research on the matter unless you count gathering anecdotal evidence of what people experience when they experience “writer’s block” as sufficient research. Despite knowing plenty of literature on the subject exists, I’ve come to this conclusion of an existing spectrum through conversation. My previously developed thought seems reinforced by the fact that several writers on this platform have articulated their unique take on it for the #200 challenge; no two definitions I’ve seen are the same.

In My Mind ~ Surviving with ADHD
There are so many misconceptions of ADHD no one takes it seriously. It's so simpler to Autism it should be in the spectrum. I don't share this because I'm always afraid I'm won't be treated equally to my peers, or co-workers. On job applications I have checked off I don't wish to say when it comes to the disability part. I hate the word disability, so much so it's close to loath. It's like it's inviting me to be mistreated or bullied.

My Zombie Walk With Vocal For 2024
Every year at Halloween the city I now call home has the streets of downtown blocked off as a hundreds of half dead looking humans show up in to parade the streets. The Zombie walk is a big deal and a quite the spectacle for this midsize city. It is pretty cool to watch those involved dance to Micheal Jackson’s Thriller as they stroll past the library. I, myself have not become a dancing Zombie, but the image has been on my mind when I think about getting through the next year and all that I want to accomplish.
