This is a photo I took a few weeks ago on my Google Pixel, and the post below (Instagram) inspired me to write something today:

It’s funny to me how I feel compelled to justify my work, my writing, photography, poetry. Really, I’m supposed to monetize EVERYTHING! If it’s not generating income, or promoting my business, then I shouldn’t do it. However, I know, in my heart, that I need to create stuff.
I feel compelled to post daily, but I’m hamstrung by the needs above, as well as the larger issues of imposter syndrome and all that.
So, I took the photo above and added the haiku in Canva. I do enjoy that, but I think I need to explore other tools besides Canva. Heck, maybe I need to start doing these in Photoshop again. Get those skills back up.
Brand Setzer isn’t defined by monetism, thank heaven.
Photoshop to your heart’s content.
Thanks Not John West!
And so say I..
