Maybe centralized kingdoms of power and influence aren’t the answer!

I’ve seen individuals host creative Zoom sessions with 45+ people spanning several time zones.

I see artists speaking directly with their fans with reliable email lists, selling tickets and albums in the process.

Now imagine if all these pockets of culture and art and magic started organizing and working together.

Excellent read. I totally got lost in that. I was never big into social media and never signed up for tik tok because I spent most of my time -- okay, ALL of my time -- writing. I never did all those other things either. Just Facebook, but that was so I could be in contact with my daughter while she went to Thailand.

It's not just that I'm old, I just didn't care. I mean, I still don't have a phone. So now, I guess you could say I'm playing catch up. I came here almost three years ago, having retired, and haven't looked back. I can't relate to all of those other platforms. I was never into blogging, or had a website. All I've ever done on my computer, was write. Now I want to be a creative, not a creator in that concept of the word, but creative, spreading my wings and trying new things.

I like this idea of visual journaling, but have enough on my plate with reading my stories and trying to convince the wife in taking part In it with me. But if this is an example of what you have to offer, I'm in. All the way.
