Well, In deciding to add a blog to this site I first (unbelievable I know!) had to look up what a blog is. I’ve heard the word “Blog” and about people “blogging” but hadn’t thought much about it. So off I went looking online, even got a book out from the library, and discovered they weren’t part of some mysterious and confusing online culture, but that I’ve been reading blogs all along without realizing it.
Now, I do have a tendency to get a tad confused by some of the technical jargon around the internet, but I spend a lot of time pretending I know what’s going on also. All part of my “fake it till you make it” strategy.
“Have you got Fiber Optic?” “I don’t know but whatever but it works well”
“What internet plan are you on?” “errr I’ll have to look it up, it works though”
Anyway, I was thrilled to discover there is nothing mysterious about writing a blog, and that , in fact I have been writing blogs all my life in the form of journals, tracing my steps to creating an artwork, insights into where I’m at and what I’m doing. I’ve been doing this all along ( well, for an audience of one)
Getting out all my old jounals, years of thought and ideas.
I’ve always enjoyed writing ideas down, sometimes great ideas come in a flash and I’ve got to get it on paper before I lose it. Of course, a lot of my writing is fairly illegible, but it has served its purpose, getting it out of my head and making it real.
