I-Might-Be-Paranoid

I Might Be Paranoid

·January 20, 2012 ·Blog

There’s a good chance I’m paranoid. I’m starting an online magazine called Sunday| mag. I have no funds. I’m relying on amazing graphic designers and writers to do their work for free. The only thing I have is a vision. It’s going really well.

And I’m a bit frightened that I haven’t received any resistance. I’ve always believed every good endeavor is met with massive resistance. But I’ve only received a couple “no’s”. Other people have been hopping on board and helping out so much!

I talked to my dad about my paranoia. I’d forgotten he experienced a very similar set of events. Read more…

Creating-with-Seven-Senses

Creating with Seven Senses

·January 4, 2012 ·Blog

I’m unaware of any practical application for this thought. So please fill in the blanks with your comments below and bear with me. This is a fun idea.

I was contemplating theology and creativity today. I was thinking how our five senses guide our creativity. Everything about creativity is bound up in those five senses. But what about the sixth sense? I believe in premonition, intuition–whatever you want to call it. There’s definitely an element of the soul that can sense things outside the realm of the big five.

What if we could tap into that sixth sense for our creativity. I think some people do and don’t even realize what they’re doing. So maybe God has something bigger available to us beyond what we see. Read more…

Whats-In-Store-For-Me

What’s In Store for Me

·December 30, 2011 ·Blog

I talk a bunch about risk and dreams on the blog. So I thought it might be good to let you in on my current situation. I’m preparing to take a big risk.

My wife was accepted to Physical Therapy school in Dallas, TX. We both want to see her dream realized, so we’re moving in May. I’ve been working full-time at a great church here in Corpus Christi, TX. But I’ve decided, when I move, I won’t be applying for another church job. In fact, I won’t be applying for a job at all.

I’m going to be a writer. And if it all works out, I’ll be a writer that gets to eat too. Read more…

Follow-Your-Own-Advice

Follow Your Own Advice

·December 2, 2011 ·Blog

Last night I realized I’d been ignoring my own advice. I’ve been breaking my own rules of branding with this very site. I’ve been calling the site “Faking Creativity”–a name that had no brand-able value. Instead I should have been calling it by my extremely unique brand, Jonathan Malm. (I’m pretty sure there are only 5 of us in the United States.) Read more…

The Daily Block

·October 4, 2011 ·Blog

A bit of encouragement today. Did you know I get creativity blocks almost daily? Believe it or not, this blog was created more for me than for you. No offense, but when I write, I write things that I need to hear. I don’t write things I necessarily hope you hear. Read more…

My Current Block

My Current Block

·August 4, 2011 ·Blog

We all go through creative blocks (even those of us who blog about getting through them). My current block has to do with writing.

I’m working on writing a book. I have so many ideas. So many quotes. So many stories. But when it comes to putting them together, I’m stuck. Read more…

I’m a New Man

·March 24, 2011 ·Blog

Yesterday I had absolutely no motivation. Today I’m ready to go! I’m not sure what it was that made the difference, but I’ll give you a rundown of the things I tried…maybe one of these remotivators will work for you! Read more…
