The Suddenly Kate Show

Good Morning J
I am hoping that todays offering will receive at least five comments! Any less just makes my life too easy. What am I talking about I hear you cry?
Well, this morning I was catching up with a few crafty blogs and I came across Pay It Forward Art-making Project for 2014.  It’s a really great idea, and I have a few creative ideas in mind so the fact that you aren’t restricted to one media is perfect for me. So here are the rules:

I promise to make a small work of art for the first five people who comment on this post and say “YES, I want in”. A ‘like’ alone is not enough of a commitment, nor is a comment about thinking Pay It Forward is a great idea. You must in turn post this as your status update and make something for the first five who comment on your status. The rules are simple: – It has to be your work, made by you, and the recipient must receive it before 2014 ends. – It can be anything art-based: a drawing/illustration or a conceptual work of art, a photograph, …

Its been a while since I shared a poem with you, and so here goes nothing...

Just beyond your fingertips the air swirls and teases swooping up and down like clouds of lead free to float away to nothingness as hope evaporates.
Leaving an imprint where it once sashayed around and around and around inhaling every breath of anticipation of what could be.
Loss echoes and vibrates on the ribcage confusing messages of hunger  the totality of emptiness in that second hopeless.
Time passes without acknowledgement a moment a lifetime the sameness is the same until hope is regained.

So I recently discovered a new podcast on films to listen to, it is called True Bromance podcast and is hosted by two American men, I think. The format of the podcast is that they discuss general films they have seen, recommendations and comments, feedback from listeners. Then they discuss their top five films on a specific theme.
I like that they have their own separate lists and don’t just have a ‘team list’ and that they disagree with each other occasionally. I also like that they are in my age group and so their cultural references and language I can understand (without the use of google). I like that they don’t just focus on latest releases, that they cover all genres and are open to recommendations.
I don’t like that they keep mentioning how brilliant The Princess Bride is! Only because I haven’t seen it. I think if I watch it now, there might be the potential for disappointment, as they have built up its brilliance.
The latest podcast included a review on a French film called …

I have decided to participate in this month’s Insecure Writers Support Group and have written or attempted to write about how the arts/creative industries are very insecure places and a few reasons why I think this based on my own personal experiences.
At some time around the end of 2010 I stumbled upon the website of HitRECord, this is a collaborative production company set up by the actor Joseph Gordon-Levitt (who from this moment forward shall be referred to as Jo-Go), at the time he had recorded a short video where he spoke about the reasons for the project and what he hoped to achieve by it in both the short and long term.
Since then HitRecord.org has gone from strength to strength and you can see by how much in the clip below:

I didn’t contribute any records during my time on the site, and I didn't participate in the forums, and this was for two very different reasons; identifying with the arts and hypocrisy.
At the time, I wasn't writing and I hadn't begun bloggin…
