Today's Topic – Creating a new ritual for the baurhdrakkiem

Today Michael and I are creating a cultural rite for death for the baurhdrakkeim. They are at the center of the first series of novels that I am working on. This is not relevant to the stories to date. However, we thought it would be fun for this episode. So join us as Michael guides me through the process.

Today's Topic – Creatives have many excuses for stopping being creative, however telling ourselves we have time is the worst excuse.

As creatives grow up, we often tell ourselves we will work on the art later because we will have time later. I hope you do, however, life might not give you the time you want. Join Michael and I as we go into the very personal topic.
