GOING PUBLIC

I’ve just been having a quick look at this site:

http://sciencescapes.co.uk/

I was scared to jump in and share before we’d decided what it was we’re going to do and that is still my main problem I think. But I think you’re right it is important to show how we get there… if we get there!

I’m just a lot more wary of what I type now that it’s so public though and I keep reverting back to email! Although I haven’t had much to say there either recently, only ‘can you check this proposal before I send it?’

More than anything though I haven’t really had time to think recently. I had thought that if I could just hold on until the summer holidays I’d have lots of thinking time but no I’m almost booked up now over the summer with workshops. I haven’t been creating anything of my own and really am starting to feel the need to get stuck into something.

I want to skip over this part and be making somethin, or better still be preparing for our show/shows together!

As soon as I have something good to mull over I’ll share it with you. Come on brain start the cogs turning.

Maybe we are neglectful of this blog because we seem to communicate perfectly well elsewhere? Between each others’ blogs and emails. But you don’t know these things until you try do you? Perhaps Julie’s thought (at least I think it was Julie’s) that we wait until we have a PROJECT was sound? I seem to be the very impatient member of the trio that wants to do things NOW!

Perhaps just maintaining some sort of holding pattern here will mean that as our project ideas emerge, the readers, if we have any left by then, will see it develop from its embryonic stages via various cul-de-sacs and through to completeion? If we waited till we had the actual, full on idea, they would miss the interesting bit?

Lots of ifs, buts, maybes and perhapseseses?

I’m so rubbish at keeping this blog because it doesn’t come under my usual login. But today I’ve had some time to read blogs and so remembered. And I finally have some time at last to contribute to the blog, but don’t have much to say. I’m trying to get into a ptb zone, to think of new and exciting things… but nothing!

Elena I really don’t know what you should do, if you go ahead and post it maybe it should be on a new blog, but hey I know nothing! I’d love to read it though. Sorry I can’t be more help.

It’s my day off work today and I’m spending it writing a proposal or rather not writing a proposal. (you can both expect a email copy soon) I’ve promised myself when I’ve finished it I can have some fun making cardboard sushi (no that’s not how bad a chef I am, it’s for a childrens art workshop) but at this rate I’ll never do it. I was starting to go a bit crazy so thought this would be a good way to take a break.

It’s such a lovely day I might go out into the garden and just sit for a while and see if I can clear my head of all the thoughts swirling around to make way for something new!

Hi Both!

I wanted to open up a bit of a discussion about blogs, either between us 3 or with anyone else that wants to join in, so here seemed a better place to do it than on “Threads”

I’m due to hand in a final piece of writing, and sort of prompted by the success of the blogs, I’ve written it as an extended blog post, but with the occasional reference included, to fulfil any hoop-jumping required by the course. I was going to hand it in in the usual fashion, but as I’ve written it in much the same meandering, casual style of my blog, I wonder about just posting it in sections on an a-n blog, either attached to “Threads” or separate to it.

What do you think? Part of me thinks there’s not much point as it is a course driven thing and as such, a bit artificial. On the other hand I quite like the idea that it might gather a few comments as it goes…. good or bad…

The references and quotes I have written in green (coincidence, Franny?) so that should you be so inclined, you can miss those bits out and read it just as a reverie on the last 2 yrs, or can read the “intellectual” stuff as well.

I am really in two minds and am finding it impossible to make a decision, so any input at all will help folks please?

It kind of calls into question the whole purpose of a blog, but also, whether there are better ways of ending the course than with a dry, 2500 word academic essay… which isn’t my thing really…
