The idea for Datapocalypse came from watching too many people taking too many pictures of things. My sixth-sense of sondering makes me wonder why people prefer taking pics vs. observing with their god-given eyes and mind. So, what would happen if all the things people are taking pictures of just suddenly disappear in front of their eyes?

Imagining things that may not yet exist but very well could, coupled with experiences I've had, or read, or seen in mine and others' lives. Then, it's all about maintaining that personal time and space to my head down and put words to paper. There's nothing more motivating then a pen and an empty page when you're in this mindset.

Sorry for the cliché, but... read, practice writing, fail. Repeat.

The best thing about being a writer is the sense of personal liberty I get when laying words to paper. It's the next best thing to being truly free!

Go somewhere different. Do something different. Get your mind into a new head space. Take a break and retool. See yourself and your craft in a slightly different light. Have a new experience. Meditate. But god's sake, give yourself a rest and let the ether separate your ego, your will, from your creative mindset.
