If you keep going, you will get exactly what you deserve. Even Basquiat was once a "Starving Artist". All it takes is for the right person to come across your work. You job is to keep creating and SHARING as much as possible, and remain authentic....

Life and it's cycles. We find ourselves dying, and being reborn time and time again. I am somewhere near re-birth. Trying as well... and all I can say is I relate to your words... and anywhere I am, you are welcome with open arms.

Notes

NO Spam Zone!

Here at TVA SN there should be no spamming! Period. It's okay to tell us what's new by blogging, placing your ads on your page, or updating the site with your events, sales, websites, work, and a periodic message to members that's not outrageously commercial or daily advertising. Let me put this simply... tell your friends what they need to know! DO NOT send daily emails full of ads unrelated to an upcoming event or special announcements. This is a network that allows us to share our thoughts

The Verbal Artist and Friends Social Network

Peace TVA members and visitors! I apologize for the mess. Many changes will occur here. This is a new social network for our existing forum at TheVerbalArtist.net. It is NOT a main forum (yet), but it is a place for you to share your own poetry / blogs, art, photography, music, spoken word audio, videos, pictures and everything else. You can even send media from your phone directly to the site. It allows you your own customizable profile, and the creative and social room we all need and desire. Have fun making yourself at home.
