Quarter-Finalist

Gail Jenkins

My art is writing. I try to live in a kind of "flow," which aligns what I do with who I am, and then share that "flow" through writing.

What is your favorite type of art to create?

I draw, paint, write, photograph... I'm always into something. But my real talent is writing. That's the artistic avenue where I am a bit more polished. I've included the 1st page in each chapter of my book, SO FN WHAT, so that you can get an idea of what the book is about, as well as my writing style. I've also included some of my photographs because why the heck not? Some are digital pics. Others are more grainy, traditional photographs taken with my old-fashioned Nikon 2020.

Where do you find inspiration?

Nature. I walk in it daily. Nature, when left alone, unfolds in perfect order. Her energies are perfectly aligned & exist purely as they were designed to. Just being in Nature's energy aligns my energy as well. For me, Nature leads to clarity in thought, & then writing.

What would you do with $25,000?

Pay off some debt & continue to write & put it out there. I professionally embraced my creativity (in the form of a book) later in life. Now I have at least four more books bouncing around in my brain. I wouldn't give away the 25k; I would use it for support as I delve further into writing. That said, I give away books all the time. My ultimate goal is to spread clarity & positivity in a world that needs to pivot away from illusion, negativity, & a manufactured obsession with tribal warfare.
