A Blog Post About Blogging and Other Blogs...Oh, and My Blog. Yeah, That Too.

I have come to a conclusion, a life altering one. I am not made for systematic/organized blogging. It is entirely against my very heart and soul, my being.

One of my friends wrote a blog post including her "system," as one could call it. She is devoted. Or if not devoted, organized; and apparently this is a quality that I completely lack, at least when it comes to blogging. She writes down, in a specific notebook, ideas to build upon for a post. And not only that, she actually uses them! *gasp* Genius, 'tis pure genius. She researches her topic, in what seems to be a timely fashion, and writes about it. It is most remarkable to one such as my self, dear. Keep up the good work. ;)

But am I capable of such a brilliant act?

HA.

Experience, and the lack of posts on here, would unquestionably scream, "NO."

So, mon amies, while I will continue to to update whenever possible with art, and I do have some topics for written [and hopefully purposeful] posts, I am kicking things down a notch. Like pulling a book from the bottom of the stack or taking a sledgehammer to a wall, where the end result is usually about the same: disheveled chaos.

While I hope the results will not be quite as destructive as that, they may be just as chaotic.

Rather than obsessing over having the "perfectly put together" post, spending days upon weeks upon months mulling over how to write a single post, I'm going to (hopefully) post a little more frequently, but with less *intensity*...if that makes any sense. And it probably doesn't.

Here, you may find little random quotes that I found intriguing, pictures that caught my eye, perhaps an occasional rant on the atrocities of ...mushrooms, or other such things. As I said, my goal is to keep a few of the longer, more elaborate post on hand as well. That way this doesn't turn into one of those "OHEY let me share the pointless details of my life with you" or "Every little thing you didn't care to know about" types of blogs.

May it be a change for the better.

Salut!

P.S. - Is it not AWESOME that titles don't have character limits? I must exploit the possibilities of such freedom, I'm afraid. 8)

A Worth-while Read

Inky Arcade: Tolerance vs. Acceptance

Oh, and I thought this was also rather nice. :)

I will hopefully post something of my own soon... probably...maybe. We'll see... >_>

Week Something or Other


Really terrible quality image this time. Sorry about that. =/ I've been working a little bit on drawing figures, but still have quite a lot of work to do when it comes to faces...and hands...and feet...

Still, I kind of like her. :)

Week #... (Oh dear...I've lost count. This probably should be week 8 or 9, but it's only week 3.)


AH! "Once a week" indeed. Well, I shall try my best to catch up. For now, have a chipmunk. n,n

I cheated, though. One of my art homework assignments was to copy this picture. Copy. *sigh*

Week #2

I think I liked the concept/idea behind it better than the actual finished product, but still... Here is the fruit of this week's labor. :D

Snow Day

On a side note: My scanner is currently out of commission, so that means I have to take photos of my art, instead. I happen to find this extremely difficult, so, I don't know, the quality of these images isn't the greatest. :P

Week 1


I can't count the number of times I've received the suggestion/advice "draw something every day." Finally, I have decided to really make an effort to heed such advice. Each week, I will choose one or two of the projects I worked on during the week to post here; this should also help generate some updates/posts on my poorly kept blog. ;)


I hope you enjoy, and feel

free to leave comments. :)

The Mirror's Tale


Transfixed by the eyes
Gazing back from the mirror
"Someday
One day
Perhaps it will be clearer"
But the doubt, staring back
Only mocked her foolish hopes
Twisted
Tangled
Torn apart
Her dreams tied down
With iron ropes
It's hard to draw breath
When loneliness chokes it down
You push and pull
Attract
Repel
Crack a joke and fake a smile.
"They come, then they go,"
She cried,
"Or...
Do I pull away?"
The conscience in the mirror
Had no need to say.
