So apparently the Rapture didn't happen...at least not for me, and I haven't seen any mysterious puddles of clothes anywhere (except those in my laundry room and closet, heh heh) so I'm guessing someone got the date wrong. Guess we'll have to wait till 2012 and see if the Mayans got it right. Meanwhile, I've been surfing the net, perusing various artist blogs, writer blogs, and websites. Lots of interesting stuff out there and it makes me wonder if it's really worth all the effort to set these things up. There are so many blogs and websites, seems to me that unless you've got something really unique, your site will be lost in the bloggers slush pile.
We talked about the benefits of having a blog at the writers' workshop yesterday, and visual artists say the same thing--that, yes, blogs are important venues for writers and artists. But frankly, I just don't have the time to spend hopping from blog to blog, and obviously I have a difficult time keeping my own blog current--I'd be getting a whole lot of writing and painting done if I just stayed off the Internet! And yet, here I am, filling up cyberspace, joining the blogger conga line. Reading other people's blogs is like peeping through a window to get a glimpse of how others' write and paint and think, and realizing that, yeah, we're all basically going through the same thing--wanting to sell, wanting recognition, or maybe just wanting comraderie.
I don't have any paintings to share today--I spent the afternoon mowing and managed to finish just before it rained. Maybe I'll get a chance to write or paint tonight....and I'll try to post whatever I do tomorrow. Stay cool!
