Dude! Athens, Georgia is a happening place, just ask Coleman Barks! I shared this. I love the empowerment I feel when I read you, SLART. I love your work, your example, and your audacity.

PS: THIS QUOTE: “Inspiration exists, but it has to find you working.” OMG. It's like "Fortune favors the prepared," but better. Thank you!

Cool! I’ll have to check it out then. It reminds me of this song https://open.spotify.com/track/41t2WlvTX1w8xyHiAripOz?si=DiQdi8mcQ6CcyIes109FRg

That’s nice to hear, but surprising for me. As I don’t see my writing as empowering. The Picasso quote is great isn’t it!? It really is true when you embody it! Not just theoretically.

Ha no, I applied to one but haven’t heard back yet. I meant I am as cool as them 😂 😎

Ah, but now you may start seeing your writing as empowering...

The only way the Picasso quote is great is if you embody it. The muse finds me working.
