My final letter to you.

I don’t think that I have ever felt this impending doom unlike now. This transition to a world with ultimately no structure, one that I can create and have agency over. My own decision will dictate what my future holds. Not to say that I did not throughout college but now more than ever I […]

Is it Over?

Is it over? is a question I ask myself every time I finish anything. Sometimes the realization I completed something doesn’t hit until years later. As I finish up my time as an undergrad I ask myself is it over? I guess the real question is, what is “it”, yes my time here at college […]

Creating is (sometimes) Exhausting

I struggle to create. My capstone project is about my struggles with creating and other mental struggles I face. The best way to describe what happens in my brain before I can even start forming a project is a direct quote from my script.  “My brain feels weird. It feels like it’s moving all so […]

Finding Myself

How do you even find yourself? I mean, how can you ever be sure that you’re doing what you’re meant to do? Are you even meant to DO anything?

What’s Next?

Our discussions about our creative futures tell me a lot about what to look forward to and what to be realistic about. Death of the Artist has shown me all the realms of what it takes to make it as an artist and the severe financial difficulties that artists of all types (writers, musicians, visual artists, etc.) […]

Feeling Like a Tall Child

Meme Via Redditt Death of the Artist helped me understand the harsh realities of the world we are entering. That is, if I want to enter it. But, I am compelled to push back on the fact that a lot has changed since 2020. During the time the book was published, there was a global […]

The Creative Process of a Procrastinator…

Although the title of the blog post might be a joke, I am by all accounts serious. In a lot of ways, my procrastination fuels my creative process in a few different ways. For one, it forces me to truly dig deep into the content and work that I am working on. By that I […]
