No fooling
If it's April Fools Day, then I should be able to write anything I wish and have it taken as not being serious, correct? If that's the case, I want to say that I have quite enough blog readers and don't want another single one.
That was fun to write in jest, but it did start me thinking about the fact that we have many different ways of enjoying other people's work. If we go to a theatre performance or a live concert we are somewhat engaged by the performers at that point in time. We're sharing the moment with them as they work. But once someone paints a picture, builds a chair, writes a story, records a song or films a movie, their work is available for anyone to access and enjoy throughout time. So for anyone who feels concerned that they don't get much recognition for their artistic works, rest assured that many people may come along later to enjoy your efforts. Create all you can with that in mind.
