Off to sleep, but you can end your week buying some art or photo prints...

Or paypal www.paypal.com/paypalme/luc...

Every time I need to work on my showreel I hate all of my old work (which is way better than above mentioned) - so how does one go ahead.

I also feel this when I'm writing and sharing my work and I can get barely a handful of eyeballs - how do you keep drowning that voice?

Good morning bsky, how's the imposter syndrome holding you hostage this week?

I've been thinking about this for a while and a part of me that has worked on editing videos for clients whose videographers didn't bother what they were shooting and made banger videos... 1/2

Theme for #BlueSkyArtShow is #Vertical and it led me to write a new spooky story about a Vertically Challenged poltergeist.

Looking through the wilderness
Thinking about the silence, away from the city
And being surrounded by tall trees all around.

photograph taken in a hiking trail on the mountain, where there are lots and lots of tall huge tree and beyond them mountain peaks peeking through the foliage. the sky appearing is shades of white and blue based on the clouds.

I think this story is super funny and I should remind you all to read it next week when I put it on my website, but if you ask me, this is a good story to get a free patreon membership for instead of waiting...

Received a new rejection today, but I've also sent out 3 new stories this week.

(Target is to send more stories out each month than rejections received 🙃 at some point it won't be possible right?)

Another rejection makes my way... so plan for the next week is to polish 4 stories and send them to new magazines.

And for the rejected one, need to find a new magazine as well.

Anyway, I guess this one can make way to a different magazine.
