Burnouts and Crazy Pills

Life has a way of throwing you upside down. There’s demands, deadlines and expectations. This episode will ease your stress so you can avoid mental burnouts.

Mothership Episode: 4

The aim of technology is to create sophisticated systems to alleviate our everyday toil. Objectively speaking it seems to work, with microwave ovens, robot vacuum cleaners and same day express delivery. Amazon recently launched drone delivery where your package will descend from the clouds and land at your doorstep.

Convenience and comfort is a click away as companies cater to our every wish. No need to kill and eat our food when we could swipe the screen and order buckets of chicken. Earth and all of its goodies in one or two taps.

With all of these first world advantages we remain stressed out. The pressure to keep up with our neighbors and hustle for ‘the good life’ has left us spiritually and emotionally deficient in this George Jetson world.

Many of us lack balance and chase after things to quench our immediate needs. We seek comfort from the bosoms of social media with their ‘likes’ and retweets. No wonder this generation is besset with social anxieties and mental fatigue. However, there is a spiritual facet to our nature that stands in contrast to our animal instincts.

The Spirit given by the Architect of the universe can keep us in balance, can keep us whole so our minds will not stray.

Are you trying to find your voice, your signature style that makes you stand out from the rest. We are encouraged to play it safe, draw within the lines and not rustle any feathers, but is this the best approach.

Mothership: Episode 3

When we start writing stories it’s vital to learn from established authors.
We need to learn the mechanics of telling an engaging story from the first page to the last. The more we read and study their books the more acquainted we’ll be to their voice. This is natural. But if we are not careful we could become a clone of the author.

A clone is similar in form but lacking in substance.
We need to discover and develop are own je ne sais quoi.

Update

Season three of Poetic Earthlings is arriving in June. Contributors from Ohio, Nigeria, Jamaica, Romania and in my town of Ottawa will be on the show. Please follow the show and tell a friend.

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 16:48 — 23.1MB)

You finished writing your Magnus opus and someone has the audacity to point out it’s faults, what do you do?

Off season, episode 2

If you have been writing stories for a good length of time you’ll attract haters and lovers.
Hopefully more lovers than hatters.

There is a third category, objective critic. This person will dissect your story, study all the nuts and bolts and see if your story holds together.

We need the objective critic, not the cheerleader. The objective critic sharpens our skills, the cheerleader strokes our ego.

To be honest I would rather be sourounded by beautiful cheerleaders telling me how awesome I am, but in my innermost soul I need the objective critic.

In today’s parlance ‘criticism’ is viewed as a negative word so we desperately try to avoid it. The very thing that could improve our writing we run away from.
How strange.

I have a confession to make, I watched Dora The Explorer. It wasn’t as traumatizing as I thought and I learned 5 principles that will make you more creative.

Mothership
Ep 1

Lean into your weirdness
Not everyone is going to like it
Know what your not
Keep it simple
Remember your roots

If you apply these principles consistently in your creative process you will be one step further in achieving your goals.

I was a special guest on the Connoisseur Panda.
We talked about the current state of Hip-Hop, converting stories into audio dramas and finding inspiration from Netflix.

It was great speaking with Patrice Rostón, her energy and warmth is infectious. Please follow her on Instagram: @patriceroston or Follow The Connoisseur Panda on Twitter: @connoisseurpan.

House Of Flimsy Cards

The world is a deck of playing cards
Mixed and shuffled with jokers and kings. An ace in the hole, a jack of all trades, have carefully positioned this deluxe pyramid.

It rises and soars, it’s colours abound
impressive was babel before the fall.
The clubs are at the bottom supporting the diamonds,
The Spades seem content
in their affluent position.
I enter my townhouse
they enter their palace
can hardly afford my Kia
they are on their 3rd or 4th Lexus.

The spades are controlled by the Queen
she has them by her bra strings
and tells them what to do.

Mr Finkelman woke up and realized he was in hell.
How did he there? What were the signs, and could he warn his friends and family before it’s too late?

Season 2, Episode 11

Welcome to the Season 2 finale. Take a moment, pat yourself on the back and reflect on your journey. Hopefully these episodes made you think and question reality.
As an Earthling you are constantly growing in your self awareness at least I hope you are. One of the goals of this show is to foster a healthy curiosity, to challenge are thinking and deepen our understanding of what it means to be human.

Despite the current trend of dividing humanity into skin colour, ethnicity and cultural lines this show attempts to display the universal truth that we are one species created by a Divine Architect.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.”

Thank you for taking the time with me to explore these truths.
Sometimes we don’t want to hear the truth, but it’s always good medicine.

What’s Next

I have pre recorded a spin-off show called, The Mothership. This show goes behind the curtains of Poetic Earthlings so you can see the creative process at work. If your a writer that’s battling with writer’s block, imposter syndrome and other creative potholes this show will get you back on track. They are between 15 to 20 minutes so you can get back to writing.

Thank you for telling a friend about this show because of your help this has been the greatest season so far. Also, thank you for buying me a coffee at buymeacoffee.com/Poeticearthlings your money and kindness goes a long way.
