What is my mission?

AI is changing so much for creators! It's changing the music industry as well. The distribution platforms are pushing AI and big labels are buying their way into it too. The big labels are buying those distribution channels which means their artists, robots or otherwise, are going to get preferential treatment. We're getting kicked around for sport and I think it's ridiculous!

 What I would like to do, which is very limiting exposure wise, is start selling direct to consumer. I need to get a website that I control, start publishing my poetry books and short stories there, publish my music. YouTube is probably still best for videos, so I'll use that.

 I want to get away from this subscription model that is applied to everything there is. I don't want my content to be so loaded with ads that you can't read a whole sentence without pop up ads. I need advertising money of course, but I think brand placement and making any commercials part of the videos so the experience is seamless will be necessary. Maybe charging a fee for someone to post their creations on my site would make more sense.
 With all the pop ups, you only make money if they get clicked on, same with affiliate marketing, so these companies get the benefits of their ads being seen and slowing down your site, but they dont have to pay unless they get a click or a sale. I think my way will be more beneficial for everyone and the creators that pay a small fee will benefit every time someone visits my site as I will be constantly promoting it.
 Hopefully, I will make enough money eventually to pay for boosting posts, even there, I'm sure I can find creators I could pay instead and get my website promoted that way. I think it will find more actual users that are in my demographic that way.
 Everything is changing! I need to adapt.
I have a couple major hurdles I need to jump first.
1)get a new website,
2)get my own place so I my creativity is no longer stifled and I'll have the room to record my music.
3) find people to collaborate with and people that want to buy features on my site, which will mean there will be no subscription fee for people to view the content that's up.

Once I've jumped these hurdles, my books and stories will be published regularly, as will my music and any collaborations I can conjure up. And people still love contests and winning stuff, I would love to implement contests and prizes for things once I'm financially solvent.

When The Devil Is Desperate, a short story by T.F. Burke

It was a gloomy day when the Sisters Of Light convened for their ritual. They had finally found the spell to kill Satan.  The sisters, also known as the "OCULUS", had journeyed 2500 miles from their convent to Mount Ararat to assemble the spell and kill Lucifer once and for all. A prophecy which was foretold centuries ago.     Satan was furious that anyone would dare try this spell. He appeared at the altar the OCULUS had made. His eyes glowed red with fury. All of a sudden they started glowing bright purple. His bones started to crack,then a purple explosion blew him a half a mile away. as Satan lay there, broken and bleeding, he did the one thing he never wanted to do. He summoned G.U.S.   A shadowy figure starts walking up, as if from nowhere, the sound of his legendary guitar dragging behind him.     The OCULUS kept chanting. hurriedly trying to finish the ritual. They knew what was going to happen.   G.U.S. put his guitar strap on and started...

Halloween -a poem by T.F. Burke

HALLOWEEN  There comes a time on Halloween, The veil is thin on worlds between, Scary things break through on this night, Not of this world, oddities made to fright, Too scary to see, some may say, Even the ghosts hide, tucked away, Evil lurks and evil plays, Evil sings songs of evil days, If you see that this night is nigh, Heed your despair and try to hide, Believe me now, you're not prepared, To see the scary of the scary that ever has scared, It just so happened, One Halloween night, A couple of teens decided to risk the fright, Arms locked in arms, To steady their way, To bravely face the evil of this day, Quietly they crept ,past the sign that say, Old Ridge cemetery this way, With trepidation and shaky steps, To face their fears of the souls that slept, But on this day, they didn't know, Spirits hide, so they won't show, Through the dark with little light, The things that stir, filled with spite, Things await they never thought to see, Ghosts did shudder and demons d...
