The “great rich quick” stories of turning content into $$$ has to be one of the most seductive, yet unrealistic schemes I’ve ever come across.

If The Rock came and told everyone how they TOO could easily make millions in movies… we’d all say “get-the-fuck-outta-here!”

But with Content: “yeah, this is going to be easy!”

Gosh yes! What an encouraging and loving reframe! And thanks for the shout out Bob. This post could have been titled, "Beyond Content" - a new approach and perspective that we all desperately need.

Wow! I love the reframing of this! I never looked at my writing as art. I have been publishing my writing weekly for over two years and I love it. I have journaled since college. I love your story of your amazingly talented daughter, Ella! Thank you for continuing to share your art!

One additional build. Heather Cox Richardson is creating great Art! Whether you agree with her politics or not, she provides a daily history lesson that you can chose to accept or chose to investigate further. I'm a relatively astute lover of history, yet I learn something with her daily prose.

Great example of taking a broad topic like History and putting a unique spin on it.
