The future of publishing is about having connections to readers and the knowledge of what those readers want.
If you want to be positive, it is very easy and for that you should see where is your attention. Are you only seeing problems or are you seeing some fun in it?
News is important information that may influence your investments. Noise is talk or buzz or some headline that prevents you from seeing a story clearly. News is useful. Noise is a distraction. Calling what's noise and news after the fact is easy.
It's very easy to get caught up in everything that's going on and just daily stuff being a distraction. When you have all that taken away from you, your daily activity becomes a lot more subtle, and you appreciate it all a lot more.

Getting into the paint is easy. Seeing if the help comes is easy - they either come or they don't. The hard part for me is seeing early where it's coming from and when - and if I can still finish, or if I should pass it off. Deciphering all that without overcomplicating it has been a challenge.
