I hope you are all holding up well. This unfortunate outbreak had taken its toll on so many people that I wouldn't be surprised if you were sitting there fantasizing about climbing up a wall like Spider-man. I am right there with ya.
Today, I wanted to offer you all my support. I know it's been hard on all of us. Especially financially. The creative life is not an easy life but you do amazing work and you should be proud that you spent your time creating. It's admirable and quite frankly, the coolest thing you could possibly do.
Our world needs our content. Paid or not, our work is going to help someone out there. Someone who is losing their mind to boredom. Someone who would otherwise be sitting on Tumblr or Reddit, playing the troll. Heck, I've seen a lot of it on Twitter lately. It's kinda scary.
Anyway, I wanted to give you guys a few ideas to help you get through the next few weeks.
I don't know how long your state or country will be experiencing lockdown but I am sure it's longer than initially expected. And to those of you who are starting to open back up, if you feel you are not ready, that's ok. I'm here for you too. Now let's get the purpose of this blog...
