Creativeprocess Stories

alot of things happened in my life that i want topost the music I'm releseing on all platforms that you all can listen to, let me know what you think, it helps a lot

Blog post about why I don't often blog when a topic is hot and in the news. The slower deliberation process that I have began to use over the past years has helped me to be less critical, but spending more time refining my true feelings about a given subject. The first of a three part blog series about my process and why I do it.

I've felt pretty major writer's block lately, but I found a little inspiration to write a bit about my journey and thought process through writing. It's a bit messy, but I hope you enjoy :D

Theme: Exposure / Endurance The stage becomes a mirror-and a battleground. In The Stage of Pain, A1k steps into the light while carrying illness, addiction, and exhaustion in silence. Small venues. Thin crowds. Moments where the room barely listens. Yet each performance carves something deeper into him, sharpening his music into confession. Offstage, the body falters. Bronchitis steals breath. Liver disease dulls sensation. Pain becomes constant, unrelenting, and private. Wine and smoke blur the edges just enough to keep him moving, to keep him showing up even when his body begs him not to. Music evolves-not as escape, but as exposure. Collaboration stretches his sound. Cadence begins to observe more closely. Each lyric bleeds truth, whether the crowd understands it or not. Then comes the silence that matters-the pause after a song when no one claps right away. That space reveals who is truly listening. Death remains present through it all, watching from the edges of rooms and the back of crowds. Saints appear briefly, not to save him, but to recognize his endurance. When applause finally comes, it does not heal him-but it confirms something essential: survival itself is a performance. By the end of this book, A1k is no longer seeking validation. He is still standing. Still creating. Still breathing. And that alone draws attention far beyond the stage.

Prologue The city of Portland was a canvas of muted grays, the drizzle painting everything in a shroud of melancholy. The streets, though bustling with life, seemed distant and removed, as if the world was holding its breath. In a small, second-floor apartment nestled above a quaint bookstore, Sarah Lane sat by the window, her fingers lightly tracing patterns on the glass. Her gaze drifted to the raindrops racing down the pane, but her mind was elsewhere, tangled in a web of memories and emotions. The soft strains of a piano piece she had composed years ago floated through the room, filling the silence with a haunting beauty. Music had always been her refuge, a place where she could pour out her soul without fear of judgment. But tonight, the notes felt like they were mocking her, a reminder of everything she had lost. Her thoughts wandered to the man who had entered her life so unexpectedly, turning her world upside down. Love had crept in quietly, like a thief in the night, and before she knew it, her heart was no longer her own. But now, as she sat alone in the dimly lit room, she couldn't help but wonder: Had it all been for nothing? Would there ever be a happy ending for her?

A Guide To Purposeful Living Something About 6 AM is a simple short story about how I quit my 9 - 5 job in search for purpose. I'm yet to uncover many of my hidden potentials and so I take full advantage of the situation around me. If you're still wondering what it is about 6 AM, I implore you to read the next couple of lines. About 6 AM: Paying more attention to your instincts. When, where, how, ignoring the why, because everything does happen for a reason. When we are faced with certain challenges and past events, we turn to the walls of nothingness and allow distractions to chew into our drive towards greatness. Oftentimes, we are constantly denying our existence to create, to inspire and empower other people who might be facing the same problems as we are. We intentionally lean in on incompetence and complacency, believing that we are not always the problem, society is - but we'll soon realize that one small positive thought can change our lives and affect our days - in many amazing ways. Dear readers: This book title is a divine inspiration from God. I started writing this book in November, 2019 after I resigned from my 9 - 5 job. In other words, I have added a little bit of fiction to this story and I'm acting as the non-fictional main character, Julia. I hope that you too can find purpose as I have. Yours' Faithfully, Julia.
