Welcome to Create (Pop) Newsletter - Your Creative Guide Right In Your Back Pocket
Prepare your inbox and hold onto your butts - something creative your way comes!
So, I have a confession…I’ve done this before
Let me clarify, I’ve tried to do this before. And by this, I mean, connect with people online. To further clarify, by connecting with people online I mean trying to build creative spaces where creative folks such as myself can learn, grow, and have the creative tools we need to excel in our creative endeavors.
What was the barrier? Well, me getting in my head per usual. Nonetheless, I am excited to start the newsletter in an effort to begin again, by being transparent and building a transparent, authentic space, where we grow together creatively.
By The Way…Who Am I?
My name is Asia Minor, a filmmaker out of Atlanta, GA, director, writer (looking to produce soon), and formally a production coordinator. I love writing and live storytelling, am a Sailor Moon fanatic, a history enthusiast, and am currently reading the Percy Jackson Book series (why didn’t anybody tell me how good those books were!) I directed and co-wrote my first feature film last year! And, I am building my own company Black Monday Works Media Production to house my own creative projects as well as give a voice to other marginalized communities and voices such as myself.
Am I telling you all of this in order to seem legit? (…Maybe) But I am also explaining this as a way to show I am on the same creative journey as you are, and as such, I am excited to share everything I’ve learned along the way. This leads me to…
The Create (Pop) Newsletter!
So why this newsletter? Well, to hit the reset button so to speak.
This newsletter is an extension of my Create Tuesdays resource blog and a platform for me to share all strategies, tips, resources, and some excerpts of creative processes I’ve built, learned, and am still learning on my creative journey.
Think of this newsletter as a think tank so to speak and you are the first one in on the invitation.
I aim to give you a snapshot of creative gems that will point you in the right direction and equip you with the tools necessary to excel wherever you are in your creative journey - hence it being Create Pop!
STOP! Newsletter Time!
The Create (Pop) Newsletter will be published bi-weekly on Sunday mornings {so we can start the week off right}. The newsletter will include advice on some ways to reframe creative thinking in an effort to pursue our creative ambitions all the while protecting our mental health.
Why? Part of what stalls the creative mindset is either a tired mind or 'tired’ (toxic, self-defeating, imposter syndrome) thinking. In order to produce productive creative results, and sustain them, the mind must be nourished and evolving in the way we view ourselves and our creative problems.
But, when one is asked to change the way one thinks that too can feel like a daunting and scary task.
So, we’re also suggesting health/beauty and lifestyle tips to round out that self-care and build us back up.
Wait! We’re Not Done!
Along with prepping and caring for our creative minds, I’ll also share some bite-sized strategic growth tips and a creative highlight to get your juices flowing.
The bite-size strategy tips will vary depending on whatever is trending socially that week, tips and notes from other successful social content creators as well as social media tools that have worked for me.
These are there to help us level up in our business needs particularly in branding, social, and creative media.
Our creative highlight will focus on whatever the creative vibe is that week. It could be an enriching creative experience, cool happenings in the creative sphere, as well as creative write-ups from experiences in film, media production, writing, storytelling, and more.
Depending upon the response the creative highlight may become a series or random from issue to issue.
Just grab your favorite snacks, bevs, and sword pens, and come along on the journey with me. I promise we’ll have fun!
