Yesterday we discussed the artist’s struggle and today, if you’re ready to give up the notion that one must struggle, and always struggle, to be an artist worth a shit, then lets discuss some incredible ways to make a healthy living by harnessing the online world.

Create a website to offer your services and display your […]

I recently asked a good friend, “How do artists make money online?” Her response:
“We don’t make money, we struggle.”
Now, she was being facetious of course, but how many people actually think this way? How many artists live their lives believing the struggle is part of the package? To live a life of penury is to […]

I’ve been tagged with a meme so I thought it would be fun to participate (plus it finishes with a list of questions that are of benefit to this particular audience):
Rules:

The person tagged must copy the word (”Blego”) and paste the definitions of the word contributed previously by the people who did the meme.

Creativity comes in all shapes, sizes, and colors. Whether we need a quick inspirational pick-me-up to jump-start our writing, a change in our visual surroundings to motivate brush strokes, a funny anecdote to enhance that speech we’ve been stressing over, or just a moment to smile, laugh, cry, or vent - it’s the inspiration we […]

So it’s hardly been a week since I announced the last redesign. But, I wasn’t completely satisfied with it. So I bring you the newly new redesigned scribblesandwords.com.
After all, part of what blogging is all about is finding out what works, chucking what doesn’t and smoothening the sharp edges.
Here’s what I did:

Completely new Header along […]

So this is fun and interesting, and a great way to gain exposure. TylerCruz.com and Gyutae Park from WinningTheWeb.com both have blogs about internet marketing strategies and how to make good money by building websites and selling advertising on them.
They have decided to have a friendly duel of sorts to see whom will collect the […]

I recently got heavy into drinking tea before bed so I was in the market for some good loose leaf chamomile. I remember Kevin from Diggnation mentioning a web site he gets his from, so I did a quick Google search and came up with Adagio.com.
I do quite a bit of my purchasing online, in […]

So, my New Years Reso-changes have been implemented.
What has Changed?
The Header
First, I’d like you all to tilt your head upwards. See that artistic wonder, no, not the grapes, above that. Well fine, it took me about twenty minutes in Photoshop to create but it’s much better than the old <h1>Scribbles & Words</h1> that […]

Dear Readers,
Scribbles & Words is going through some heavy New Years changes. I’ll be updating, changing, moving, deleting, fixing, adding and painting for the next 24 to 48 hours.
So do return in 2008, preferably after the booze has been completely urinated out of your system, and bask in the glory that is improvement.
I hope you […]

If you’re a Flickrholic and own a Mac, this is a great application.
“Flickr Finder is a Mac-only application that lets you browse Flickr photos without a browser. The interface is similar to the Mac Finder.”

FreelanceSwitch, a great resource for freelancers by the way, has a great hourly rate calculator set up for those of us unsure what we’re worth per hour.
“We have developed this hourly rate calculator to give you a guide based on your […]

It has been almost two months since I purchased my new MacBook Pro. I have had plenty of time to cruise the interwebs to find the best and worst applications. As you can see from my initial list of top 13 Mac OS X applications, many things have changed. As the last days of 2007 […]

64,523 words. That is, 64,523 words of nonsensical, contradictory, inflated gibberish. But, mission accomplished.
Emotional Stages:
Week one - Fuck this, I don’t have to do this anyway. Who the hell writes anything good in thirty days when 50,000 words is the target. I’ll just do it next year when I’ve practiced a bit more, besides, I […]
