This is a lifestyle and informational blog for those writers who feel they are caught between being in the midst of struggle, making some progress and feeling stuck in the meantime. This blog will be interrupted with interviews from authors and self help experts that have already been there and impart their own advice and info. Think of it as deciding to live a bare minimum lifestyle to reach your maximum creative potential. Let's take this journey together.
Shouldn’t that be obvious that it is not a bathroom?
If you have nothing to write about check your pulse! Start with the signs in your neighborhood. Write a story or poem or a blog post.
Some signs seem like common sense other signs possible multiple meanings some signs literally mean what they say. This one could mean literally wires in the area. But if you think more creatively it could mean Nuclear Infected ants in the power plant. It could be a science fiction story.
Trough sign seems like it would be obvious not to wash your hands in there. Who knows if they entirely mean it
This is a real KEEP OUT sign. There is a decapitated creature which I believe is a lizard next to the sign. You might say Lizard learned the Hard Way!
This is a sign that uses an example just like a dog barking next to a Beware of Dogs sign.
Signs should help stiry your creativity. They are all around you!
How could you use them in your blog posts or stories?
Bob Eager pictured says Do Not Obstruct Sidewalk!
Can this sign be interpreted? Is standing for brief moments obstructing or putting something down on it that doesn’t prevent people from walking by?

Does your kid tell you they keep applying for jobs but never hear back?
How are they answering Assesment questions?
This may lead them to not make it to the next phase the Job Interview
Think about it like getting on a boat and going on to an island.
Before this we must know how they are filling out an application.
Hopefully, they are not putting jobs they only had for two months on their aplication.
Employers want to know that employees will stay there for a certain amount of time. Rule of thumb is at least a year definitely not under 6 months. The exception might be a temporary or seasonal job.
The way some fill out their application and then assessment will cause ome of the boats around them already sink.
Other boats may make it to the island but our forced to go back on the water
The goal is to make it on the island. Be the last person standing not the 1st Eiliminated
Many young people are filling out assesments without basic things in mind
What are employers liooking for Teamwork, Dependability, Following Directios, Dealing with Customers
Some young people may feel they are not in the place where they can deal with these things.
Employers are looking for employees that can fit in with a certain mindset
So much more to it join me World Finesse And Nuance Strategy
Together we will explore in depth actual assesment examples and an example of Job Interview questions.
Does your son or daughter spend all their time on their phone, laptop or watching tv?
People rely on their phones too much.
They dont even look up when they walk down the street.
Their phones are attached to them like a new appendage
Well here is a simple idea to get them off the phone and doing a fun activity they will want to continue.
Your child will need to find a location that is around 1 mile away. They will need to find three ways to get there and back. They can take a friend with them or an adult if safety is a major issue.
Boys especially will fimd this a fun exercise.
There is a natural instinct to roam amd discover things for themselves.
When they do this exercise to and from the main designated area they will use optional solutions.
They need to find different ways to get there and back.
This will help them learn the side streets and alleyway and or canal routes. They should know there immediate area extremely well.
The only way they can use their phone is to take random pictures of street signs or the alleyway or the canal.
This will teach them also not to rely only on their devices entirely but will prove to you the routes they took and help them with going back on follow uo journeys.
Get to Know your area. They will learn that each direction they take will give them adifferent experience.
Ask them to write down three things they have never seen. Each way to
Part of this experience they can not cheat and use their phone.
GPS does not have an alleyway or canal anyway!
Reward them once they complete the three trips and tell you about their experience.
They will be more likely to recreate their experience because they created the direction in the first place.
This is a simple activity but there is more:
It is imperative they take it further.
To keep them interested they must create a system that is personal in areas of their lives that they find challenging. Create a 3 Respurce Option System. I call it Beyond Operation Move!
Theatre seens like it is so impractical. It seems like a world for the dreamers. For people who want to express themselves on stage. But it is actually Practical to real life situations.
But theatre can teach so many practical daily lessons to help with the job World. Some concepts such as budgeting, Teamwork and dependability are essential in Theatee and business world alike.
What about objects in the room. On the stage is a chair. What else can it be used for? Chair becomes a spaceship or a horse or a car etc..
This is if the theatre organization has no money or wood to build
This shows that productions work on a budget. If it is not Hollywood there is not a ton of money around Community Theatre has a certain amount to spend.
Dollar store can be a community theatre organizations best friend.
Time Management before a production date there is a limited time to Prepare! So practicing becomes important on a time frame. Just like displays in s store need to be up at certain times
Teamwork ensemble cast needs to work together.
In a coffee shop everyone needs to be on the same page. Someone needs to make tge drinks and run the register and possibly drive thru person as well.
Bottom line Theatre teaches you how to be resourceful with what you have and how to work together for a greater purpose.
Theatre teaches the basic areas of productivity that occur in other forms of business. Young people can apply these conceots whole filling out job assessments and going on interviews.
Being involved in a theatre production can be a fun creative way to express the principles of real life experiences.
Being in high school or even middle school can be hard. It can be a confusing time or even can be depressing. Kids could decide serious things an instant and not take the time to discover who the are. Before they decide on permanent body modification.
Create a Persona masculine or feminine. Wear the associated clothing at school.
Talk to your parents about it explain it.
Before you make decisions that can affect you for the long term anbd even for your entire life
You are important! How you feel about yourself and express yourself is important
