Why is it only artists and writers are allowed to use their imaginations to the fullest extent, and other creative types are ignored? Don’t let your imagination languish. It’s only by thinking of wild schemes and pursuing odd ideas that we’ll find solutions to huge problems like climate change, wildfire smoke (and breathing problems for […]
One benefit of being an artist, or poet, or writer or pursuing any other creative inspiration (and that includes cake decorating, being a chef or photographer – the labels are endless) is you get to try out many different forms of self-expression.
