This world is full of my artistic endeavors.

Basically it's where I try to put magic onto paper or into writing. I hope I succeed.

I'm a writer without a particular kind of writing. I do rants, stream-of-consciousness, self-reflecting stories, poems, six-word stories, articles, responses, whatever. I'm also a visual artist trying to improve. I combine these two in my talent for calligraphy, where I try to make the font and images match the words I use. And I make collages because it's fun. This world is for creativity and art. If any other artists/writers out there would like to share things, you can always PM me. I hope you enjoy the strange contents of my head. I hope to improve and get my work out into the world someday. And in the meantime, I hope that looking at this world can be a bit of a journey into the depths of wherever the hell it is that artists go to bring back their handfuls of magic. Because honestly, even I'm not entirely sure.

This is a poet whose work is particularly inspiring. Warning: this video may lead to tears and explosions of feels.

* We have to continually be jumping off cliffs and developing our wings on the way down. * Creativity is about allowing yourself to make mistakes. Art is about knowing which ones to keep. * Creativity gives hope that there can be a worthwhile idea. * Creativity requires the courage to let go of certainties * While we have the gift of life, it seems to me the only tragedy is to allow part of us to die. * Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why not. * Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life's coming attractions. *

I need inspiration again

So guys. I need inspiration again. I'm continuing with my challenge and I've officially made it a thing.

I'm doing a challenge as a writer. Leave me a comment with any one word, phrase, or quote. It is my job to create a good story, rant, or poem out of that quote. It can be anything, from a recent world event to the most random word you could find in the dictionary. As an alternative, comment with a link to a picture, and I will try to write a story or poem about that. I'll include the quote, word, or image in my post.
