Hello blog readers!
I’m sorry I’ve been neglecting this lately;
I think it’s a problem of identity.
That, and being mysteriously sick/exhausted for the past two months.
But mostly, identity.
What is this blog supposed to be about?
Surely, I should have the answer.
But I feel like I’m always trying to figure it out.
I’m a writer, YES, but I don’t always like writing about writing (this came as a big surprise to me!)
I’m a reader, YES, but sometimes I can’t motivate myself to write reviews (I was not surprised by this; I’d rather book talk in person but need to find a way to share this with a bigger audience, so still working on it!)
I’m a maker, YES, but I spend more time making than making blogposts (always a problem!)
So I’ve decided this:
I’m going to think of my blog as my room on the internet.
I’m surely not the first person to think of this, but I think this mindset will help me figure out what to do next.
When you walk into my real room, you know you’re going to have a fun time. There are books and art supplies and craft projects and bright colors everywhere.
You and I are probably going to make something, I’m going to show you things I love, and we’re gonna have a GREAT time.
So that’s what I want my blog to be like from now on.
I try to tell myself I SHOULD write this or that on here,
and I never write it.
So I’m gonna stick to what I want to write.
Most likely it will be posts about
making art,
or free art stuff,
or making things for my wedding,
or shouting out to a friend’s book.
And it will DEFINITELY change, so I think I’m gonna take things slow and not commit to certain posts on certain days until I get it figured out. I want to keep things simple, because I’ve found life is easier that way and I can create more.
I’m hoping to post once a week for now, then add more.
Once I figure out what that post will be about, I’ll try to keep it consistent for you. I like expectations as much as anyone.
Bye for now,
KE
*I don’t know if signing off will ever change. I can’t NOT say anything; blogs feel too much like letters to just end it without saying goodbye. Bye for now is what Danny (handsome boyfriend I mean fiancé!) said to me right from the start. I like that. Reminds me that I’ll see you later 🙂
