May 13, 2025 @notessonthego | "All my writings are very deeply acts of reading." - Kathy Acker. How do the acts of reading and creating coexist in your life?
Click here to reply to @notessonthego

"Reading and creating are two sides of the same coin, according to me. Because if you don't read much, you won't be able to write much, and you need to read what you want to write about. So if you want to write a memoir, read memoirs. If you want to write a non fiction book, you need to read non fiction. If you want to write short stories, read short stories. The more you read, the more you learn."

"And I think that those are the works that I'm drawn to the most as well. Not pieces that are trying to determine something or insist on the truth, necessarily, but that are opening up the space for questions and for questions that we can ask together and that we can investigate without any specific agenda to be right, but just to explore and what that act of exploration means in itself."

"But I've definitely let it dim a little bit too much because then I encounter somebody like this and, and, and I feel. I feel energized and I feel like fiery and like a little rebellious. Like I want to fight against this part of myself that's trying to quell that spirit. And then I think after meeting that guy, I've had conversations with my friends about this and with new friends and with people who have known me for a long time."

April 26, 2025 @The79thstreetkd | Photography and filmmaking: Do you document your artistic process?
Click here to reply to @The79thstreetkd

"Leonardo da Vinci was known to sketch a great deal of his work. Like to paint a sketch before they do their work with painting. And you could imagine what we don't know. What did the Mona Lisa look like in its earliest drafts? When he conceptualized it, before he even got to the preliminary sketches that look very close to the end result, what did that look like? So the process of documenting it is fascinating because of the stages that a project goes through before it reaches final form."

April 26, 2025 @The79thstreetkd | My filmography: Share something you’ve invented at some point in your creative journey.
Click here to reply to @The79thstreetkd

"Something that I invented is definitely my filmography and my creative background. I went to school for advertising originally and I started school here at Moraine Valley Community College in the southwest suburbs of Illinois. And I did two years there during mass communications. And I always had a strong interest in film, but for whatever reason I focused just on advertising."

"Good afternoon, this is Lisa from Think about it and look up. I truly appreciate this question. Do you document your artistic process? I really, I'm not intentional about it. I mean, it's documented by default through the various things that I create. But documenting it per se, I do not. But I find that interesting because I can see value in it."

Click here to reply to @rocio

"Reading is not only important to my creative practice, I think that it's essential, it's crucial to my creative practice to be engaging with another work and particularly a book. For some reason, something about the act of reading. I read physical books. I don't know how it would feel like with an audiobook, but I should try. But sitting down and reading and focusing, it's like a great act of concentration."

"And I have found that reading is helpful in so many ways. I mean, it's educational. You know, you can. 5 bucks, you can learn new things. You keep your brain, you know, helping yourself feel like you're smart and you. Reading can be calming and it. Reading is just. It can be so inspiring, you know."
