The days are growing longer, and the sun’s warming rays are not far behind. We are at the transitional end of one session and close to the start of another. At times it seems like winter’s grip will not let go, and spring is teasing us with what will be upon us soon.
Inspiration comes in many forms, as my writing teacher once told me. Sometimes where you least expect it, inspiration will spring forth. In order to create, you must first do!

Tip 1
The driver team has released a macOS Beta driver 1.2.1- 43-RC that fixes the Apple permissions issues that some customers have experienced problems with. Please click on the link below, and at the bottom of the Mac Driver box, click on Beta Version.
The driver team will leave the beta driver up for two to three weeks, allowing those that want to download and test it to do so. Please send any questions, issues, or bugs you find to customercare@xencelabs.com, and once you have it installed, you must restart your Mac before using it.
Tip 2
If you use Subscripts or Postscripts, you can set that up on your Quick Keys, Pen, or Tablet buttons. It is super easy to do, and the link to the FAQ below will help you through the process of assigning these special characters in a Word document.
Tip 3
Sometimes we need outside help, and you can add Siri activation to a button on your Quick Keys for quick answers to those probing questions. Like, how many light years is a parsec?
This FAQ link will show you how to add Siri to a button on your Quick Keys. This can also be done with any button on your Pen Tablet or Pens.
TIP OF THE MONTH
The art of doing
Sometimes we have a task in front of us, and we can not figure out where or how to start it. This can be a drawing, an illustration, an article, or a project. In the writing world, it’s called writer’s block.
I have been trying to start a digital drawing for a few weeks, and I could not wrap my head around where to start or how I wanted the objects on my canvas to be placed. One night I found myself drawing some lines, and pretty soon, I was making some progress on my preliminary sketch. I just started drawing, and things were flowing and falling into place. It did not start out perfect, but as I started moving my pen across the tablet, it started my creative thinking, and before long, I had my lines laid out, and I was in my happy place.
Sometimes you must start and get it done. I would like to hear about how you get into your creative space, get your mojo flowing, and enter that place where you create.
