My apologies for the delay in the latest podcast.  I was fleeing infected zombies, pyromaniac rioters and murder hornets while trying to discuss pleasant memories of my dad to make this podcast.  I'm now safely in my secret bunker, stocked with toilet paper and tons of canned goods so I can ride out the Martian invasion that may come at any moment.  (Now, what is the best way to open a can of soup without a can opener?)

This podcast is a recollection of my father and his active imagination, which I have inherited and have learned to appreciate in the most difficult times.  Always look beyond the world to the dreams you seek.  They are always there, waiting for you.

We all make life choices for different reasons.  Some choices lead us to new challenges and others lead to greater opportunities.  My decision to join the military resulted in a new path, new perspective and new purpose.

This podcast is a collaboration with fellow creatives who joined me in sharing words of encouragement: Rachel Payetta, Theresa Jacobs, Jim Keen and Christina Hamlett.

There are lots of subscription models for choosing online apps.  Some are useful and others are all hype.  Two that I prefer are Adobe Acrobat and Microsoft 365.

I took up Comic Strip creation back in college and the lessons I learned from the craft continues to influence my creative works to this day.

I have many favorite resources that I turn to when working on my creations.  Two that I have turned to on more than one occasion are on YouTube:  Scott Sigler and his series "So You Wanna Be A Writer" and Phlearn with the series "30 Days of Photoshop"  The first is great for any writer seeking publication and the tools needed to make writing a career and Phlearn is my go-to channel for questions on Photoshop.

Every creative journey requires reaching out to the public, connecting in different platforms and utilizing the tools available.  These are a few I am using.

As we all find new challenges with social distancing, quarantine life and increased time alone, I concentrate on what matters most in habits and mindset.

We all have tools to aid in writing, drawing or creating in our lives.  These are the selections I make when attending to my creative pursuits.

I have bought many tools for my creative endeavors.  The Masterclass video courses for James Patterson and Neil Gaiman are among my favorites
