This past weekend, I had the pleasure of attending the 48th Annual ArmadilloCon Convention in Austin, Tx. I had fully intended on taking some photos, but in all honesty, the events and information were packed back-to-back all day, all weekend long! I only got around to pulling out my camera on the final morning. Even then, I was far more interested in listening to these incredible authors and artists and their advice and stories, so no, this photo does NOT do the weekend justice!
If you know me personally, you probably know that while photography has been my pursuit for most of my adult life and has shifted to some short form video the last few years, my heart and soul have longed to write for far longer than I've been able to recognize or admit. You could say it's one of those things that is "Soul Owed" to myself 😏 I even include writing and editing it in my list of skills and abilities when I offer my services. Sure, I've had my experience writing for journalism, but there's just always been a call from creative writing in the background just under all the noise of life. Like I wrote about last month after attending the photographer and videographer workshops, I've only recently strained to hear it and answer back, "what do you need from me?"
I'm very excited to apply the advice and information I learned from the convention to my day-to-day operations in business and the pursuit of creativity in my own life. I have some new favorite authors whose own journeys I'm excited to follow, and maybe, just maybe, I'll FINALLY get around to finishing that novel in my head 😉
