I love this! It’s very unique and I’ll have to read it a couple more times to absorb all the nuance. REFRESHING like that beer I just chugged!

Cori, Your encouragement speaks volumes and I thank you for even giving it a go, but hang in there, pruning brings growth and deadheading encourages fresh blossoms. I've planted these word seeds structured in rows layered rows so they'll pop in Fall every 15 days.

-MAKE MY MONDAY - 3000+

-TERRIBLE TUES - 3000+

-WILD WEDNESDAYS - 1500 (500 preface 1000 script)

-THEORY THURSDAYS - 1000

-SITUATIONAL SATURDAYS -500

-SACRED SATURDAYS - 7-51-151

Then start it all over again till I get this right... like Camus’ 1942 essay The Myth of Sisyphus.

Epic! Can't say I digested all of it, but appreciated a lot of it and enjoyed the video. I like the term polyartist and could stand to learn more about its history and origins. Seems better than "multidisciplinary" - more artist-centric and less institution-centric. Thanks for the mention and interaction.

Between, this and the last stack that's 6000 + words, so don't really get to lost in the weeds. Massaging out the knots of the Day themes by Season 2 and just creating is what this space is all about for me. No more spam tag engagement I promise and it's a Tuesday post so no fiction. Maybe a wall next to the corner store dumpster to tag, zines or flyers next to door, micro screens at the pump or a Flatscreen Billboard on an interstate with a cross and flowers posted below on the pole. Can't tell what Substack really is just yet, but it's a simple modern WIP for a human who's artistically trying to push it's boundaries. Thank you for the support since the Hot Take fun with CB.

No prob! I don't mind being tagged in stuff and I think you gotta do what you gotta do to get noticed, especially at first.

When "it" all goes down just look to the West and the next mention will come via roller pigeon.

I’m an appreciator of Hamm’s, being from the Midwest it was consumed in huge amounts after Blue Ribbon.

Yes, but to be honest and True on a Tues I really love their old moving campground screens that you might see in your grandpa's garage above the tap where he lets you pull a draw after helping out with weekend chores. And the Indigenous branding like Land O' Lakes and The Reds but hard to touch that topic here. Honest adulting too, come October fasting I usually switch to Arizona teas. I think I might hybrid your pop's and Nishant's simplicity and see what I get as they both share similar flare in expressive line weight when slowing on the nib.

I'll start widdlen it down from 3000 Liters to a few shots by Episode 6. There's lots of block parties here on Substack so thanks for making your way out of the cul-de-sacs I skate through to help show the party how to breakdance to Mars "Pump up the Volume".

Is that your basso profundo, at 1:00 into the video?

Yes, throwing in a sample and experimenting with a Blue Yeti in the spiral stairwell leading out of my workspace. No software effects except a little compression although when I get into campfire ghost stories from the mortuary in short script form, that's when I'll bring in the actress Mrs to work through my serious case of thesphiaphobia, I'll throw in some reverb and effects for kicks. Thanks for always engaging Christopher... I'll DM ya for some creative service ideas you can choose from if you don't won't a profile portrait in the style of John Trumbull.

You have a terrific voice!

My friend Jon wrote one ghost story every day for a year, and did a few ones in audio form. You would have been amazing at reading those!

BTW: that was funny stuff you said to Demi about Princess Demi of Substasia Minor.

If there's anyone that can stitch the quilted flag together it's Demi, but you Sir are a Major on the front lines of Ideation on this platform... (see dm)

Lots of work to be done!

Viewing "Oldest first" on comments and what's really neat Nishant, is the first Artist on Substack that I ever followed turned out to be my art publication's first comment. Please don't ever take time from your lil' one to read my 3000 words of goobly gook, literary scribbles mostly but I will create something very unique for you and the little one good friend (I worked on regional localization of the Baby Einstein series) or commish my youngest to create something for your child. They like planes right? Genuine gratitude!
