Almost anyway.
In my time zone, the new year will be in under 11 hours or so.
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking over the last few weeks.
More so the last few days, as one does when sick and in a hazed
stupor of cold meds and low grade fever.
I’ve been thinking about what direction I want the blog to take.
Do I continue this one? I can’t change the domain of it, only the blog title.
Or do I start from scratch? Choose the domain a bit more wisely than I did
when I started this one.
I was so green still about blogging. I had wanted it to be “The Forgotten Muse”, but
that didn’t happen because I typed the wrong thing in the wrong space. I still want that,
because that’s who I am so to speak. But I’ve had another idea I’ve been mulling over.
Along with the whole “Vodka and Rosaries” thing. I just haven’t figured out pulling it all
together yet.
Part of me wants to start fresh, with a new blog space.
Part of me wants to just revamp here.
It’s a minor thing, but major at the same time. IF that makes sense.
I know a lot of my fellow bloggers and online friends are asking the same question,
Do people even read blogs anymore? Is it worth keeping up a space?
I don’t know. Personally, I still read them.
Blogging has been a way for me to vent over the last decade and has connected me with
some pretty amazing people.
So me, I’ll keep on blogging because I enjoy it. I enjoy the writing.
I got some wonder new art toys for Christmas.
Gesso, a jar of Liquitex Stucco which should be fun to try.
A set of Arteza metallic acrylics. An acrylic gouache, that is completely new to me.
Two new brushes.
I was also supposed to get Black Lava by Liquitex.
But some asshole stole out of the mailbox.
Neither the seller, nor Amazon will do anything because it shows as delivered.
They said to go file a police report. Fat lot that will do.
I’m a little disappointed that I won’t be able to play with it, but excited for the new stuff I do have.
Now…if I can just stop hacking and coughing long enough to play with it all.
Finally, I come to my word for 2020.
I pretty much decided around my birthday, I’d say, that I was going to keep SACRED for another year. I felt like I really didn’t dive into like I had wanted to.
But I am also choosing ALIGN(MENT), as a second word.
Should be interesting I think.
Here’s to a happy, healthy, prosperous, creative New Year!!
