These days, I probably move a little slower, my hearing is not as good, and my fashion statement includes 2 pair of sweats that fit so well.
I’ve never really talked about the creative process (when I used to write a lot of blogs). Maybe this is a good time to do so.
First and foremost, I don’t have a clue how creativity works. I have, however, learned how it works best for me. I have tried a lot of different things over the years. I have observed that what works for me does not necessarily work for everyone else, and vice versa. But many of my kindred creative friends/spirits pretty much have adopted similar elements in their own endeavors.
I have noticed a lot of people are very competitive in the cartoon and comic gift business but I don’t use that approach. I love watching people be creative and successful. I look at it as an “inspirational roadmap”.
We’re both vegans and have been about 8 years or so; Lee a year longer than me.
I don’t mention all this for bragging rights or to be condescending, but as a prelude to the fact that my creative abilities have increased, rather than decreased over the years (I’m told).
One is never too old to start that creative venture they’ve been hiding away for years or even decades.
The moral of my story is, “Don’t necessarily do what I do”. I may change some or all of that in the next decade. But for now, I easily see, as hokey as it sounds, the more I do it, the more something that might be described as a “creative channel” opens and I pull out a pen and pad and write it.

As Lee might tell you, it’s often during a hike that one “comes to me”. So nature plays a big part in freeing me of cobwebs that so easily block that creative channel.
I know it is cliché’ to say but thank YOU for LTCartoons.com. I never thought I’d be doing what I’m doing. It has been your support and encouragement that has been a major factor in “my little project” turning into something I enjoy doing.
I remember early steps including surfing the web and researching even though there wasn’t much there. I also found masters in the trade (Sparky Schulz was but one of them), and absorbed all I could.
If you want to turn your new hobby into a business, the net is full of wonderful articles and the SBA offers excellent webinar classes that offer a lot of useful information.
Ready to do a creative project of your own? To borrow a phrase “just do it”. And then keep doing it. Find your own right way. Lee does hers different than I do and that works for her. In time, you’ll “find your groove”, if you’ve not already.
