You know why most artists starve? Because most artists either lack a work ethic or decent social skills. I know this from experience. My wife and I over the years have gone to tons of art galleries and have met countless artists. As ruthless as this sounds, that's another reason…
One huge beef I have with a lot of today's artists - in the 1980s, artists stood together for Free Speech. "I may not like what you have to say, but I will die to defend your Right to say it." You'd hear artists make that proclamation. Musicians teamed up…
If you want to be in the top 10% of anything, it's super easy. I'll give you a hot tip about people nowadays. They're lazy. The vast majority of people want nice things without having to do the work. Then they complain about not having nice things. You'll see this…

Happiness shouldn't be the end goal. You should shoot for accomplishments. You know what happens when you encounter…
Well first, the bad news. I finished the first blueprint of the my game. Before play testing it with others, my wife and I play tested it. It took too much math. Nothing against math, but a game has to have a flow to it. The way the first blueprint…
I'm not a fisherman. But I could still tell you how to get started. You need a fishing pole. And you need a body of water that contains fish. Then you need to bring those pieces together. The same thing with writing. If you want to be a good writer,…
Before I write the article, I want to make a few things clear. One - this is NOT going to turn into a health blog. I've turned it into a freestyle blog where I can write about anything I want. This time, I'm writing about something personal. This is the…
