Now Is The Time To Write

I was going to write about an entirely different topic this week, but screechingly fast changes at the federal level compelled me to take a different path for today's post.

A Call to Action

Artists and colleagues — we’re thinkers, right? We tend to reflect on everything, no matter how large or small. We reflect so much that the non-artists in our lives say things like, “Does it hurt to think that hard?” and “You need a real job.”

But we do have jobs, even if the work isn't about earning a steady paycheck.

If you've really been wanting to put your creative muscles to work, there has never been a better time.

We can:

- Use our skills to inspire innovative overhaul, not overhaul with a wrecking ball.
- Use those wink-wink creative skills to share important (and factually accurate) info.
- Bring joy and laughter. (It matters.)

People tend to underestimate the power of art, which always baffles me. But it’s crucial now. 

Stir inquiry. Spark inspiration. Be a source of light and goodness.

Be Yourself — and Inspire Change 

Now is not the time to have AI “write” for you. Use your own voice. Authenticity is now extra-critical. 

We have our own minds. As creatives, we experience and perceive life in ways that others don’t.

We can choose clarity and conviction over anger. We know outrage flames out quickly. 

Now is the time to write. Stay focused. Stay strong.
