When this world we live in had the light of my mother shining with her vibrant life, she often said of me that as soon as I could hold a crayon in my little hand, I was drawing. It was only a few years later, and I was not only drawing, but I was writing, too, often with my own illustrations. Now the things I drew, and the things I wrote back then; hmm let’s just say I still had a lot to learn. Yet those creative urges were there from the very beginning, and they continue to drive my existence to this day. I have no doubt that will trend throughout the rest of my life, as well. It is my inevitable destiny, to be born as, live out my life as, and some day die as a Creative. I intend that, and will accept no other fate. That is not arrogance. It is simply embracing what I am, without hesitancy or reservation. God knows I have enough insecurity in my life. I certainly don’t need to be insecure about who I am and what I have for a purpose in this life. So it is with confidence that I say I am a Creative, as an artist, and as a writer, and as a thinker, and as a quester into things unknown, as I have always been meant to be, and so I shall always be.
So far, my primary focus on this blog has been about my artistic creations, but as I said above, art is not my only creative emphasis. I write. And as it was when I was a child, I do still tend to create art to go with my creative writing, including both interior illustrations, and my own cover art. As much as I love fiction, it is perhaps ironic that the first book I managed to get published was a work of speculative non-fiction. There are those, however, who would say that it might be stretching the category of non-fiction with this particular book. Will the Internet Achieve Sentience? Will it perhaps someday soon, if not already, awaken to self-awareness, attain consciousness, and emerge as an actual sentient being? Those and more are the questions I explored with a futurist style of speculations in that first book of mine. Will the Internet Achieve Sentience remains available as both a paperback and as an e-book at Amazon.
