idea. In Elsas word story image idea music emporium, there's space for many
forms of creativity - yours and mine.

What
is this place, beyond its name?
The name is actually a good place to start - Elsas word story image idea music
emporium. This place is not just about one form of creativity. It's for many
forms of creativity,
from
a preteen story,
to hip hop music to trip hop music,
to all kinds of music with words,
from country to blues to rock to folk rock
to rap-like and raucous to mellow and more,
to spoken word,
to idea pieces and explorations,
to a creativity blog and an inner self blog,
and to images galore.
Plus,
there's the same kind of space for other people. Getting that part done will
take some time - the programming is beyond me. But like so much else it will
happen.
I've
never been able to settle into only one kind of creativity - or into only
one interest, actually. The world is too wide, and my interests are too wide,
for me to stay forever in one niche.
Elsas word story image idea music emporium, like me, will cover a lot of creative
ground - including creative thinking. Good thinking often comes, in my experience,
from the same kind of place as other forms of creativity - from really listening
to oneself and the world.

This
place has been a long time in the coming, in the making.
It's been years and years since I got the idea for Zee's Cafe Cafe, a virtual
cafe for me/Zee and lots of other alternative artists.
It's
been a couple of years since the Fluffers Book (Caro Carolina, Geela Gribbs,
and Fluffers the Invisible Dog) was sent out to publishers.
It's
been a decade and a half since The Manfear Factor was completed, and later
left on the shelf because I couldn't find takers and didn't have the energy
to keep on trying.
The
Chosen Home project - that's also been in the making for over five years.
And
now here it all is, so many projects, for myself and for others, so many hopes
and dreams, so many stories, images, ideas, thoughts, inspirations, so many
moments where something has burned inside me, burned with the desire to come
out into the world.
Other
creative people and idea people have also often come up against the same blocks.
This place is for them as well.
So
once again, welcome - to browse, upload, enjoy, respond. My biggest hope -
that something here touches you.

word story image idea music emporium
Gertrude
Stein said, almost a century ago, a rose is a rose is a rose.
Much
easier to say that, than to say
Elsas word story image idea music emporium is
Elsas word story image idea music emporium is
Elsas word story image idea music emporium.
But
just as a rose is a rose is a rose,
Elsas word story image idea music emporium is
Elsas word story image idea music emporium is
Elsas word story image idea music emporium.
One
could even go on to say that
a rose is a rose by any other name.
Likewise,
one could hold that
Elsas word story image idea music emporium is
Elsas word story image idea music emporium
by any other name.
And
many humans might not even notice if,
instead of
Elsas word story image idea music emporium
I wrote
Elsas word music image idea story emporium
or
Elsas word music story image idea emporium.
Most
humans would just register that it's
Elsas something or other creative emporium.
And
it is.
But
if you are at this site, it's very likely in part because of nonhuman intervention,
web intervention -
anything but interference -
not perfect but another way of making a match
between what one is looking for
and what
someone else has to offer.
A
rose is something else by any other name.
Elsas
word story image idea music emporium
is not
Elsas word story image idea music emporium
by any other name.
Not for the web.
For now the name is a
signal.
So ...
This
is
Elsas word story image idea music emporium
Elsas word story image idea music emporium
Elsas word story image idea music emporium.
i
am not calling mayday. This is not a distress signal.
It's
an sos signal - hello, come see me, notice me.
Hello,
it's Elsas word story image idea music emporium
Elsas word story image idea music emporium
Elsas
word story image idea music emporium
calling all search engines
to find me on my island
deserted but fertile
enchanted but isolated
creative and creating but too too alone.
Hello,
it's Elsas word story image idea music emporium
Elsas word story image idea music emporium
Elsas word story image idea music emporium
Elsas word story image idea music emporium.
Who
will help me through my dark?
Who will help me make my mark?
Who will help me build my ark?
I cannot do it alone.
I'm
calling to people
but strangely it's not people I am turning to for help.
It's
the web
the world wide web.
I'm
calling hoping the web will hear that
Elsas word story image idea music emporium
Elsas word story image idea music emporium
Elsas word story image idea music emporium
is calling, calling, calling with longing and hope.

A
note for those of you who, like me, care that I sometimes write "Elsas
word story image idea all round creative space" and sometimes
"Elsa's word story image idea all round creative
space." I prefer to use "Elsa's" - this is the grammatically
correct spelling. But there are rules of the web. One rule: there are
places where one can't use apostrophes. Another rule: one is supposed,
at specific times, to use the spelling identical to the place where one
can't use apostrophes.
And
sometimes it makes sense to follow the rules - on the web, it helps wth
visibility, and so it helps bring people together.
