What’s Next For Creators In a Post-Covid World?
Art Is Eternal, Life Is Fleeting
If you’re like me, you are itching to get back out into the world as soon as you can. It’s weird, I didn’t go out much before the pandemic, but now I’m just looking forward to the day when I can go out to places like bars without thinking about the word “pandemic”.
When the pandemic first hit, I thought I was living my best life. As an introvert, I suddenly found myself with more time than I knew what to do with. I was way more productive in my work. I was finally able to spend more time doing the things I loved to do. I discovered that I really enjoy writing. It gave me a creative outlet that I didn’t realize I needed.
It seems like others have also discovered creative outlets. The rise of the creator economy is proof of that fact. People are figuring out how to create art and profit from it in a digital environment.
