I started updating this book in the first half of the year. The words I write are meant for me to have and use, but I share them for those who are interested and resonate with them to reference and exchange. I believe that artists are 'art people,' and successful 'art people' have a strong influence on others. Some of their influence on resonators is to 'make themselves adversity's adversity,' with a strong spirit of independence. Without further ado, this book is a collection of literary essays, words, and discussions. Please take a look.
