Hi Everyone,
It’s been a while since I’ve posted, so I’m just dropping by to keep you abreast of what’s going on in the life of Michael LaPenna.
We’ve been moving things around at work and at home and I have a new health regimen that I’ve started to ensure better health, at the advice of my doctor. Things are really moving! There might be times where I don’t have as much time to devote to this blog as I would like, so my focus will always be quality over quantity. In the coming weeks, I will be scheduling some art-related and creativity-related blog posts in the form of interviews with creatives and artists. I hope you like the outcome.
We’re coming up on the Christmas and Hanukkah and Kwanzaa season in 2020 and what a terrible 2020 it’s been! I ask that you please stay safe, stay home, and wear your mask when you go out or have to be in a group of people.
Until then, this is Mikey saying take care of yourself and others and keep believing!

Do you make art that you want to share with the world in fresh and dynamic ways?
Do you have a wonderful TV show, film, or stage show or production that you'd like to take to new heights?
Do you have music waiting to be heard by the world—music that requires unique messaging, marketing—something more focused to your specific vision?
Do you have a unique design or design concept that you'd like to get out there that you feel needs a new angle, an approach that hasn't been done before?
You might be saying to yourself, "Oh, my God! That's me!" If so, you're exactly who we would like to work with us!

The journey continues….
Since embarking on the creative entrepreneurship journey that is FreelanceMikey, I’ve been inspired on a daily basis by starting out doing relatively small jobs with big impacts. Where so many other people live for the weekend, I’ve learned to treat my weekdays ast days to be lived. Now, I spend my days helping ambitious people fulfill their need to get their creative ideas out into the world and I’m thankful for it every day. From creative writing and editing assisting clients with plays, screenplays, memoirs and novels, to the more specific personal one-on-one consulting to help propel personal and professional confidence in my clients, each job and each client gives me a variant on a practiced and consistent sense of purpose in what I do—not just as a creative and entrepreneur but as a air-breathing human being who likes to help people. To this point, my music and audio mixing work has been one of the most rewarding parts of my creative work: making music mixes and mashups for personal use for everything from wedding songs to dance recitals—and even a routine for America’s Got Talent got wrangled in there somewhere. In all cases and get the great privilege to help my clients dream just a bit bigger and express a deep love for what they’re doing. It’s a rich reward I will never ever take for granted in the least.
