A new beginning of 2 0 2 4As the dawn of 2024, it promises a new beginning. Unwritten chapters await to be written in the ink of your dreams. For artists and writers who dare to dream, this is a year of unwavering commitment and unwavering consistency. In the realm of creativity, persistence is the key to success. Whether you wield a brush or a pen, the canvas of your aspirations is vast and every stroke, every word contributes to the masterpiece of your journey. This year, make consistency your guiding principle. It is a steady rhythm that transforms aspirations into accomplishments. The path to realizing one's dreams and finding success in a passion is a demanding journey, far from the romanticized notions it may seem. It entails relentless effort, resilience, and an unwavering commitment that goes beyond mere affection. The pursuit of a dream demands sacrifices, pushing the boundaries of comfort, and facing uncertainties with courage. Passion alone cannot guarantee success; it requires dedication, hard work, and a willingness to navigate through setbacks. The journey is fraught with challenges that test the very core of one's determination. Moments of self-doubt, criticism, and the pressure to conform may cast shadows on the pursuit of one's deepest desires. However, it is precisely in these challenging moments that the true essence of the journey is revealed. It is about rising from failures, learning from mistakes, and embracing the iterative process of growth. Success is not an overnight achievement but a culmination of persistent, often unseen, efforts. I am an artist and have recently been working steadily as a writer and blogger. However, if you ask yourself whether you are reaching a satisfactory standard of success, it is difficult to come up with an answer right away. At times like that, what Steve Jobs said comes to mind. “People say you have to have a lot of passion for what you’re doing and it’s totally true. And the reason is because it’s so hard that if you don’t, any rational person would give up. It’s really hard. And you have to do it over a sustained period of time. So if you don’t love it, if you’re not having fun doing it, you don’t really love it, you’re going to give up.” What should I do so that I don't give up just because it's difficult or I can't see the way? For now, all you have to do is just run.
If you run hard, you will meet fairies who will help you. You will also be able to meet supporters who support your passion and efforts. And more than anything, I will be able to become more confident in myself as I run. Update: KDP Author Central Bio!" Myungja Anna Koh was born in Korea and moved to Germany with her family in 2006. In 2011, she debuted as an artist at the Poly Gallery in Karlsruhe, Germany. In 2013, and relocated to New York. She has been working as an artist in Long Island, New York. She also has a vision as an art educator. She is pursuing a master's degree in Educational theater, storytelling, and arts at Adelphi University. Expressing the energy of nature through her paintings, she is passionate about understanding the world and inspiring people to find true happiness through nature. In this sense, she published her first children book,"Hello, My Robin" in 2022. "The story of the Fancy Snail, Anna" is her second picture book for grown-ups." I recently felt the need to update my Amazon KDP author site for the new year. In fact, at the time of uploading this article, I graduated from Adelphi University, received a master's degree, and published five more books based on my second book. Through the update, we learned why we should avoid time-sensitive content as defined by KDP. Please note that if you want to write an author bio, you should briefly present the main points. These include writing the author's biography in the third person, not being shy about accomplishments, and starting with an interesting and familiar topic that will connect the author and the reader. In fact, the above facts are very general and publicly presented, but it is difficult to know how to keep and use these principles in practice. With this in mind, I changed my author bio to something simpler as shown below. Anna, a New York-based artist, marked her debut at Germany's Poly Gallery in 2011. After relocating to the United States, she has flourished as a studio and teaching artist, writer, and blogger. Recognizing the significance of storytelling while educating her children and students, Anna pursued a master's degree in related storytelling at Adelphi University. Her creative journey found expression in numerous children's books, showcasing her fusion of art and storytelling, all available on Amazon.

Reference: https://earthweb.com/how-many-blog-posts-are-published-per-day/ Doing something consistently requires a lot of patience. When I first started posting blog posts, I didn't think posting one post every day would be that big of a challenge. But doing this every year, year after year, takes a lot of patience. If you approach this as just a hobby instead of managing it as one of your tasks, it will be difficult to post consistently every day. Why should I blog and what does blogging mean to me? Even if it is not connected to money or any other compensation, you must be able to blog and post every day. If you consistently achieve anything, not just blogging, every day, you will definitely succeed one day. However, consistency is not a virtue that everyone can achieve. It's easier said than done, but just as difficult. That's why it's worth the challenge. If you think about it, the profession of an artist also begins with this kind of consistency as the basis. There are so many people in the world who are good at drawing. But is it common for people to be able to draw consistently every day for years or even decades? This is where professional painters and amateurs are divided. If you are confident that you have that much expertise in your job, you must be ready to devote your entire day to it. Did you know that Picasso created more than 50,000 works of art, but only 100 are considered masterpieces that we still admire today? The above is just statistics. Personally, when it comes to blogging, I don't think there is an answer to how many posts you post a day, what kind of content you create, and how to increase traffic. The solution is to tackle it head-on with your own methods and perseverance.
Steal like an artist by Austin KleonStep 1: Wonder at something. Step 2: Invite others to wonder with you. You should wonder at the things nobody else is wondering about. If everybody’s wondering about apples, go wonder about oranges. The more open you are about sharing your passions, the closer people will feel to your work. Artists aren’t magicians. There’s no penalty for revealing your secrets. Believe it or not, I get a lot of inspiration from people like Bob Ross and Martha Stewart. Remember Bob Ross? The painter on PBS with the ’fro and the happy little trees? Bob Ross taught people how to paint. He gave his secrets away. Martha Stewart teaches you how to make your house and your life awesome. She gives her secrets away. People love it when you give your secrets away, and sometimes, if you’re smart about it, they’ll reward you by buying the things you’re selling. When you open up your process and invite people in, you learn. The truth is that even if you’re lucky enough to make a living off doing what you truly love, it will probably take you a while to get to that point. Until then, you’ll need a day job. A day job gives you money, a connection to the world, and a routine. Freedom from financial stress also means freedom in your art. A day job puts you in the path of other human beings. The solution is really simple: Figure out what time you can carve out, what time you can steal, and stick to your routine. Do the work every day, no matter what. No holidays, no sick days. Recommended Reading: Last page of the book! Not everyone understands my work. The world will misunderstand me and my works. You can also swear. So, I am misunderstood and disparaged. Get used to being ignored. Being so busy with your work that you don't have time to worry about such things, this is the trick |
