[Audio recorded with a free app on my phone. Image is crayon and felt pen on construction paper with digital embellishments and color.]

Here is the original script for the audio, although I deviated significantly. Guess I'm not good at sticking to the plan...

"Do you ever have the urge to make stuff? To create? All 'Good' art - according to the common wisdom - is supposed to be DEEP and MEANINGFUL."

"But that's not what my urge to make stuff seems to be about. My creative urge is more of a nervous, twitchy, over-powering COMPULSION to DO SOMETHING. Write, draw, sing, build, fold, connect.... My body - my whole being - has to be GO-GO-GOING at all times."

"Even if all I'm doing is creating piles and piles of meaningless, repetitive NONSENSE... I feel good when I make stuff. My head hurts when I don't... MAKE MAKE MAKE! That's me!"

---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

"The Creative Urge" (Audio!) by Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)

[Audio recorded with a free app on my phone. Image is ballpoint pen on notebook page with digital embellishments!] Here's another experiment in audio performance. I wrote a rudimentary script, but it's very short this time:

"My name is Richard F. Yates, and I am a professional grandpa and a Holy Fool."

I hope you found that informative and entertaining! The audio recording is about seven minutes long, so I might have expanded on the script a bit... THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!!! ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
