Channeling Shakespeare

To promote or not to promote

That is the question.

Whether ‘tis nobler in the minds of artists

To shove their art down the throats of captive Facebook friends

And flood the web with endless Pinterest posts

Or suffer the slings and arrows of lesser sales

And by doing so,

To die a figurative death

To die, to sleep, perchance to dream

Of fame and fortune

For when we shuffle off this mortal coil

Have we left our mark?

Have we made this place better for our being here with our art?

Aye, there’s the rub…….
