I’m torn…
Should my Shed have a blog of her own this summer? She’s got a few outings to herself, and plenty going on. Or should all these goings on be included in my “Threads” blog to keep the interest there? Lots of my work overlaps, but the Shed is one thing that could have a life of her own, bubbling along in the background, having her own adventures. I’m leaning most favourably on the side of keeping all my threads together, that’s why I called my blog threads in the first place really. I know many people have a new blog for each project – Julie Dodd particularly successfully. It can be read in isolation, just the bit you’re interested in, and have a coherence that chucking it all in together lacks.
However… I’m a chuck it all in kinda gal I think?
*shrugs*
Dunno.
(sounding more like recalcitrant teenager with every post!)
Also…
Because I’m a chuck it all in kinda gal, I’ve never had a plan.
Everything I’ve done, since leaving school really, has been spontaneous, accidental, incidental, co-incidental. Jobs have landed in my lap, or I’ve found myself in the right place at the right time – serendipitous – good word.
But…
At my age, waiting for something to fall into my lap could be seen as a waste of time. I could be “working towards” something. I could still be open to serendipity, but organise myself to be in the right places maybe. At some point in the next say… ten… years… I’d quite like to be in a position to say “from now on, I shall be an artist, and only an artist, till the day I die” What a wondrous, joyous, felicitous day of song and dance that will be!
Meanwhile…
I need an income, so I need the job, and I’m very lucky to have the job I have.
*shrugs*
Pipe-dream.
