I get emails from authors every week asking if they are “too late” to write a book when the world is so crowded with books and more being published every day.
Save But it really is the best time ever to be a creator and I am grateful every day to be born at a time in history when the internet enables us to write, publish and connect with readers across the world through free or cheap tools.
When you get bogged down by negative news or get sucked into the drama of whatever authors are worried about next, look at the bigger creative picture and be happy! I’m thrilled that today’s article by Sara Crawford explains more.
I’m surrounded by creative people in all aspects of my life: authors, musicians, actors, filmmakers, playwrights, slam poets, painters, etc. With the sheer number of books, movies, plays, photography, music, art, and entertainment available to all of us, it can get overwhelming. Sometimes as creatives, we can feel like when we are creating, we are shouting into the void. I am guilty of this, myself.
1. There have never been as many ways to share your work
2. There has never been such an abundance of art and entertainment, and there have never been as many people with access to it
3. There have never been as many opportunities to support other artists
4. There have never been as many opportunities for adaptation and inspiration
5. There has never been technology as amazing as the technology is today
