The "Art-Code" Problem Solving Method

   This is a process that I, Mr. Black, invented (Praise God). Since I'm giving this away virtually for free, I'm going to leave it somewhat sketch and just copy directly from my notes from the day I thought of it. I'm nice enough, after all, to write it down for free. Don't expect me to teach it to you perfectly, then, when this is the kind of information which should cost money.     Art-Code Problem-Solving Method Organized principles- time sharing-pass the ball, contrasting ideas, systematic thinking, balance of creativity/art and facts, leader/follower, hierarchy, artforms limited to 2 at a time, balance of objects (variety), time limit?  Decide topic and artforms, present objects, chance strategies- drawing word cards, drawing a CD. Beforehand, pray for a solution 1] State the problem and possible consequences    -all related concepts involved 2] Epic brainstorm    -possible solutions, how to work out through art (further solve), how to use the objects, oth

"The Reformer" blog and what is up

     "The Reformer" blog is where I'm doing most of my writing, but I'll continue to keep this site going. That way I can post about current events, topics, and issues that have the same interesting flavor as the topics I was talking about previously. "The Reformer" blog is at www.thereformerblog.blogspot.com   I made a video plug here:  https://youtu.be/5rr_JsOWST8   Thanks for following!

David Black- "Medicine Fight" song re-release March 24th

  My song "Medicine Fight" will be re-released to most digital channels on March 24th, 2016.  People will find it interesting that "Medicine Fight" pre-dates Rachel Platten's "Fight Song" (the song where the chorus goes-"this is my fight song, take back my life song, etc) because I put a rough live version on YouTube in 2013 and Rachel Platten "Fight Song" was recorded in 2014. See the official YouTube version of "Medicine Fight" to hear it: Video- "Medicine Fight" song Rachel Platten "Fight Song"-   https://youtu.be/xo1VInw-SKc My rough sketch of "Medicine Fight from 2013-  rough sketch "Medicine Fight"    "Medicine Fight" will be on the following digital stores/channels- iTunes Apple Music You Tube Art Tracks Spotify Amazon Music Google Play Deezer Rhapsody eMusic Simfy Africa iHeart Radio MediaNet VerveLife Tidal Gracenote Shazam 7Digital Juke Slacker G

You'll say to me, "How can you do that and be a novelist also?"

     Shouldn't I just be writing fiction in my blogs , I might think in reply to you. Well, the mold was already broken by none other than William F. Buckley Jr. in crossing that type of genre/ outlet barrier freely. The editor-in-chief and founder of the political magazine The National Review , he was too intelligent and thought too clearly to care what anyone thought of him. Those are good footsteps to follow in...albeit a very conservative individual, traditional conservative thinking would favor freedom of expression over people's thoughts being held captive to an arbitrary industry or societal standard. Those are the values I hold dear.      All this being said, I will mention for the sake of The Reformer blog that Buckley was a Catholic while I am a Protestant.
