booking

This morning, I spent some time working on my books.
It's nice to have time again.
So as I was doing this and after I had spent yesterday looking at various internet potentialities, I began to assign certain thoughts I have during the creative process to blog.
- as in, There are certain things I don't include in the sketchbooks because the time it takes to accomplish one idea requires many more ideas that I don't have the time to accomplish. Some of these ideas might be able to make it on here.

yesterday as I was looking at internet potentialities, something that didn't catch was that I couldn't imagine wanting to read my blog.
I do some stuff, but really who cares.
But of course, now that I realize an actual reason for me in this medium, it doesn't matter if anyone reads it; it allows me to accomplish my ideas.

This "reason" that I mention is story.
I'll never finish a novel, and the sketchbooks don't jive with anything written in length.
Also: when I fantasize about writing stories, I often think about how I want my story to be like a soliptic scavenger hunt through both networked information and geographic space and time. I believe that I am enthusiastic about attempting this here.

If I manage to submit regularly, I will amass an adventure of which at least I will take part.

Clyde......it was a pleasure reading your "Booking" blog. It will also be nice for me when I too have time to dedicate to the pleasure of writing, photography and learning "various internet potentialities" and as I begin to put the thoughts I have during my creative process to blog.

Both you and Chrissy are so talented and creative. I'm hoping my time ahead will also give me time to tap back into my creativity.

When we first started talking about putting my "thought and pictures" to a blog or on the internet....I couldn't imagine anyone wanting to read my blog or my stuff. As you state here "I do some stuff, but really who cares.....But of course, now that I realize an actual reason for me in this medium, it doesn't matter if anyone reads it; it allows me to accomplish my ideas....." That is so true.....So today is my first day at blogging my thoughts and creativity. Thanks for your help!
