I spend way too much time blogging
So I created another blog. Ridiculous, I know. Considering that means technically I have five. Granted I don't write in the other three. So in reality, I only have two seeing as the other three are unused.
I made a new blog because I decided I want something serious to post my spiritual musings on. I really wish I had a blog that lots of people read. I do think my spiritual musings could garner an audience. I have a gift when it comes to writing and I'd like to share my thoughts with others. And I love my lj people immensely. But I want a real, professional blog if that makes any sense.
I could probably write a book of short essays. Who knows. I don't. But for now I made the new blog.

Again, I stress that all of my writings in that blog are directly spiritual and could probably go under the category of Christian life.
I love writing. Journalism writing I've realized, is not exactly my thing. I could do magazine writing, but newspaper writing...eh. I do enjoy it and there is a certain craft to saying so much in so little words, but I don't know. I see myself writing books in the future. Not fiction, again my writings would fall under what I would call Christhian living.
But I don't know.
I have so many possibilities out there.
Photo class today gave me hope. I had been kind of despairing lately. I love photography, but I was starting to question if the photojournalism world was really for me. But I realized that it would just be my main source of income. Today my professor showed up pictures from one of his past students. The guy doesn't even work in the photojournalism world, he has another career and does photography on the side. Photography is his passion and he creates what he wants to create. He has an account with a photo stock firm and the firm buys his pictures and then sells them to various publications. You split the earnings with the firm. Does that demean the art? This is something I need to think about. They sell the pictures to whoever wants them. Christian tracts, National Geographic, calendars....whoever. I dunno. Part of it seems kind of soul-less to me.
But photography is a business. If you're not a businessman, but a photographer, why not let the business men take care of selling your work? I don't really know. And I don't need to know now. I'm a sophomore in college still learning her craft.
I don't need to have all the answers. I can't have all the answers. Far too often I like to plan ahead and get all of these ideas down and how and when I think it will all work out. Those plans often fail.
God has better things in store. His plans work out to be better than my own.
Writing is therapeutic. Praise the Lord for creative outlets.
