June 4, 2016- 2016 Mid-Year Catch-Up
You all know by now that when I take a long hiatus from
writing my personal blog that something is being STIRRED UP! And y’all, the
recipe for my life right now is delicious! (Laughs)
Not only did I complete my first year of grad school, I am
now…wait for it…a published author! Literally, I wrote a book! That is how I am telling people. Over the past two
years, I have been blogging about finding yourself artistically and balancing
your worlds between the traditional workplace and artistic creativity. Finally
those thoughts have been transferred into book form and available to all
artists and individuals around the world. That is such a daunting yet
refreshing thought. Am I expecting to be a New York bestseller!? Yes, one day
but for now… I will settle in the fact that I started a project and completed
it.
The book is titled Keep Calm and Create On: Words of Encouragement
from One Artist to the Next. Back in November 2015, I wrote a blog here about
shifting my artistic paradigm from personal to public. Keep Calm and Create On is
designed to feed an individual’s artistic soul with inspiration for pushing
forward. The book reads very much like my blog: personal, raw, and honest.
So after a long two-year process, including conceptualizing,
over 15 drafts, intense copy editors, 22 amazing reviewers, designers, and
publishing, it is finally here! Not only does this book exemplify my
spirit as an artist, it speaks on my road of perseverance and strength.
I wrote Keep Calm and Create On: Words
of Encouragement from One Artist to the Next because of my experiences
being an artist in a field so saturated with looks and stereotypes over talent
and skill. This book is about embracing your creative spirit and balancing your
artistic duality.
While the book is complete, I am still early on in my journey.
Nonetheless, please take the time to like and support the book!

Miss you all so much, Brittney
