You are creative, and others connect with what you have to say. If this is you, we need your help. If it’s not you, I argue that you are wrong. The trick is to find your voice. Is it the written word? Is it pictures and commentary? Is it the spoken word? Mime? No matter your voice, no matter how unique you are, there are others out there that can connect with and benefit from your experience, and they might find you on Earth Tones.

I’m Not Interesting

Yes. Yes you are. What story should you tell? That’s easy. Your story. We all have moments of small epiphany every day, moments of joy, anger, sadness, and gratitude. So write it down, take a picture of it, talk about it, or craft it with pipe cleaners and popsicle sticks. The hardest part is starting. Have an idea, but not sure how to capture it? Start a conversation about it with a friend or on our Facebook Group. Whatever you do, just keep moving forward.

I’m Too Busy

The next step is to just get it captured. Don’t edit as you go since that will just take you out of the zone. Instead, keep writing, talking, crafting, whatever, until you have lots of raw material. Do it all in one go, or add a little every day. Whatever works for you. Once you have something, you can submit it right away and we’ll work with you to get it ready for publication. Or you can make a few passes yourself, cutting and polishing until you’re happy with it.

Perfect is the enemy of good – Voltaire, maybe

Either way, submitting is not the end, so it doesn’t have to be perfect. We’ll work with you to get it ready and schedule it for publication when you are happy with it.

And remember, it doesn’t have to be writing. Photography, music, spoken word, mime (maybe not mime) are all options. I look forward to your submission.
