“The significant problems we have today cannot be solved at the same level of thinking with which we have created them” Albert Einstein 1879-1955. As quoted by Julie in her post “What’s the best, most effective way to tell the story of Needing a new story ?” Oct 12.
To think that Einstein’s Mid-War view is even more pertinent, is a frightening indictment of Our World Today. It’s a baton that we must explore and carry before it’s too late, a baton prominent amongst Substack writers.
Julie is a Beacon, no ordinary writer, but a educator and inspiration. Thanks to her introducing me to Suzanne Taylor’s Essay competition, I took up the baton. Thus, I promoted the competition, thus I am doing the same for Diana van Eyk and now Julie too. Three fine minds worthy of your attention, forging a blueprint for a greener safer world. Writing with clarity, conviction and authority.
E.G:- “It is safe to say that capitalism is a system relying on treating the Entire Living World as either a Materials Depot or a Dumping Ground, solely to maximize profits by exploitation” CLEAR & CONCISE.
Julie’s professional work is as an Architect, an internationally respected and award winning one at that…. with a passion for protecting Mother Nature. No surprise then that her captivating authorship weaves both streams into compelling advocacies, thereby inspiring other authors to Pay Attention, Be Astonished, To Tell About It….
I do, I am, I Shall….. How’s about you Dear Reader ? Tell us Please….
Discover her Free Masterclass of examples of how to think out of the Materialistic Dustbin, how to write well, Beautifully Well, and in between enjoy the Interviews Julie paints with some of Substack’s, sharing, most caring, generous educators.
In November, we bring you Julie’s own interview, in which we explore her evocative tales of Marcellus, her vehicle for answering the question she poses in that article of Oct 12th “Needing” (see 1st para, above). I promise you a lovely treat !!
TIPSHEET -
1). It is common practice for writers to use appropriate quotes, within their publications, particularly as an opener. I perceive underused alternatives, such as Latin, Dictionary Definitions, Double Entendres, and Etymological Explanations. For the latter, see
(as the only etymologist I dare not argue with).2). Here’s a Guru Tip (Anon) I do disagree with “One should not give gratis counsel to assist a colleague enhance their income”….. Erm …. I believe that this is the very essence of community support. What goes round, comes round.
3). Screen weary ? Take lots of mini breaks, sip water, write at least your first draft with a beautiful quill, smile now…..
4). Subscribe for free, beats “Following”, laugh out loud !
4a). USE HUMOR, LAUGH MORE…..
5). Pledge $20 before 31st Oct for a whole year, saving $30.
6). Think - these figures reverse in November.
7). Enjoy Life, don’t Burnout….
