Hello and welcome to my blog.
My name is Rebecca Gallagher and each week I share what’s going on in the journey to build a creative voice. Hoping to bring encouragement, possibly a nudge, and maybe a giggle or two. Whether it’s documenting the journey of creating new artwork every day for two years, sharing the process of sending 50 shirts to 50 Congresswomen, or waxing poetic about my love of coffee, I hope to bring you value. I’d love to hear from you and find out what you’re into. Drop a message, question, or just say hi!
I’m pleased to share that we have indeed completed our Christmas card. For those who just want to see the goods, I gotcha boo. Sometimes you just want to know how the story ends without the exhaustion of going on the hero’s journey.… Read More
Gonna keep it short and sweet this week as our mistletoes are deep into hustling and bustling to complete our holiday to-do list. I will NOT be checking this list twice. We do what we can over the next few days and then let the jingle bells fall where they may.
However, I just had to give a thanks to all you awesome people who sent in ideas for our Christmas card. It has me wondering why I have been slaving all these years to come up with ideas, when you fine folks are clearly a fount of brilliant (and a few twisted) ideas.… Read More
Alrighty, so we are well into the holiday season; trees are trimmed, stockings are hung with care, and our true love has purchased a bizarre number of birds to give to us for 12 consecutive days. Seriously, have you ever noticed how many birds are gifted in that song?… Read More
OK, I realize that title makes a provocative promise, but it is absolutely true and has nothing to do with sending a chain email to 5 friends or communicating to a Nigerian prince.
The words “creativity” or “creative” can get weighed down by old messages we picked up as we walk around this world. Specifically, messages about what it is to create and who can do it.… Read More
I hope you have recovered from last week’s food-induced coma. Whether it was with all the fixins’ or minimal fuss, I hope your holiday was exactly what you were needing.… Read More
Happy Thanksgiving week to you and yours. Definitely feeling the gratitude vibe and not just because I have finally swapped out summer clothes for Fall/Winter attire. Mama loves her knitted scarves & sweaters.
This Thursday we will be hangin’ with the extended fam for the festivities and considering that this time last year we went with a Zoom Thanksgiving, which while better than nothing, just isn’t quite the same. #imahugger… Read More
One of the ways to discover how you truly feel about a topic is to consider the opposing view. When you hear someone take a position on an issue it sometimes can help clarify how you feel about it as well.
For example, if you are a person who has never met a dessert that you aren’t willing to show a good time to (ie. the inside of my stomach) and you hear someone say, “No thanks, I don’t want any ice cream” it may cause strong feelings to emerge. (It’s not about being hungry Dean, sometimes a person just wants a little taste of sweet.) #whostherealweirdo?… Read More
This past year I crossed the threshold of 100 audiobooks recorded. After taking a little time to calculate, it appears to be well over 700 hours of finished recording. #damn
Of course, 700 hours of finished recording is only a portion of the time it takes to create an audiobook. There is time needed to prep the book where you first read the entire book, do any research related to the content, find/confirm pronunciations for words, [SIDENOTE: this is where you discover what words you’ve been mispronouncing YOUR ENTIRE LIFE] determine the voices for the characters, identify the arc of the story and any key scenes, etc. Basically, all the work needed so when you enter the recording booth you are prepared.… Read More
