How do you get RSS feeds? What are those? Where can you find the worldwide web, wikis and Twitter explained in plain English? From a blogging meeting I recently attended I found out http://www.commoncraft.com is a great resource. The site offers three minute videos “to help educators and influencers introduce complex subjects.”
Artist Successfully Marketing On-Line
I subscribe to feeds from LateralAction.com, which provides tips on how to market oneself on-line and made mention of an artist doing quite well at it – Natasha Wescoat. Check out her site at http://www.natashawescoat.com. Natasha, you are an inspiration to me!
Make Creativity Habit Forming
Almost every morning I put on my running clothes and get myself outside as quickly as possible. Reading Twyla Tharp’s The Creative Habit Learn It and Use It for Life, I can identify this as part of my of my daily preferred ritual. Tharp states: In the end, there is no one ideal condition for creativity. What works for one person is useless for another. The only criterion is this: Make it easy on yourself. Find a working environment wher ethe prospect of wrestling with your muse doesn’t scare you, doesn’t shut you down. It should make you want to be there, and once you find it, stick with it. To get the creative habit, you need a working environment that’s habit-forming.
