CREATIVITY 4 $ALE? ~~~~> (And you're broke? Then fix it!)

IF YOU'RE NOT SELLING YOUR CREATIONS,

STOP WHINING ABOUT BEING HUNGRY!

You got music, art, writing, design, sculpting, dance, painting,

acting, photography, and/or craft skills and you’re broke?  

How is that? Because the world you’re trying to make money in is not a music, art, writing, design, sculpting, dance, painting, acting, photography, craft skills world, that’s why.
