Bloggedy Blog Blog
Sep. 20th, 2007 11:20 amSome mornings writing this web log is the easiest part of my day. Other mornings it can feel like I am pulling teeth. Some days I get more than one good idea or something I want to say here but I hold off except those rare occasions when I do post more than once. Part of it has to do with that I sorted out long ago I could become rather obsessed with this thing and I needed to put very strict limits on myself so I don't end up with yet another time sink. I still have to tell myself that missing a day or two does not make me a bad person nor will everyone stop reading this web log if I don't post every day.
Other mornings various things that need to happen right then interrupt me. Caroline needs something or Peter or Ariel or even the cats who insist that there be food in the bowls and water in their dish every morning. These take precedent over my time on the Internet or my computer. This morning was a great example of that since I have been writing this off and on since eight o'clock.
More recently that novel I started about 3 years ago for the Novel in a Month has been occupying my brain and I have been working out parts of the world building that had eluded me. Now I need to buckle down and finish my outline for the darn thing along with writing the rest of the novel. So I think some of my time is going to there for a while. I also have two short stories I want to finish and see if I can sell before 2009.
Then there are my dolls and puppets and other creative stuff. I am not going to be costuming for FarPoint this year (I know FLW but I think this one is gonna stick) so I think I want to see if I can get some new stuff in the Art Show. I also want to get some new stuff done before the next DragonCon Art Show Jury which tends to be in the early part of the year. I need to redo some of my photos for that and really set up some museum slide shots for that. Ah the advantages of being a camera assistant to a very good museum photographer when I was back at the Center for Puppetry Arts. I learned how to shoot puppets and 3-D objects for catalogues from a master of the art of photography.
It doesn't mean that I won't be blogging. It really does allow me to clear my head for the day and get moving. But there might be a few more misses than there has been. Doesn't mean I don't like y'all any less just that life is kind of pushing me in a direction I think I need to explore a bit and that will probably take up more of my free time (as I laughingly refer to it). Now watch as I blog everyday for the next six months since I have written this down and put it out on the inter-web.
I am grateful to each and everyone of you who takes the time to read this.
