Writing
Submitted by J.A. Spahr-Summers on March 30, 2008 - 9:02pm.No one is asking, let alone demanding, that you write. The world is not waiting with bated breath for your article or book.

Digital Art
Submitted by Andy Ender on March 18, 2008 - 1:43pm.Digital art is highly popular. But digital art is also modern art. Picasso said "Why must i painting realistic, when the still camera exist." Digital camera is also a medium for modern artist. Today is easy to make a art, but is not easy to be a Artist. Digital camera relieved many operations but make you not a Artist. The gallery owners are business people and today is economy uninviting, what not makes to easy for a autodidact. But the digital camera makes anything to easy and makes afresh not easy to work as a Artist.
rolling in ecstasy
Submitted by aanji on March 9, 2008 - 2:40pm.you do not even have to leave your room.

Creative Minds
Submitted by J.A. Spahr-Summers on February 22, 2008 - 3:46am." The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born abnormally, inhumanely sensitive. To them... a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death. Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create -- so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, their very breath is cut off...They must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency they are not really alive unless they are creating."

Mastering the Art of Life
Submitted by lokimee on February 1, 2008 - 7:02am."A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labour and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence through whatever he is doing, and leaves others to determine whether he is working or playing. To himself, he always appears to be doing both."
