I have decided to start keeping a journal again.
After several years of going without, it has become clear to me that my most creatively productive times were also times when I was journaling. Be it the habit of sitting down to write or simply the plethora of time I had available to myself, I am unclear. What I do know is that this summer I would like to create a functional portfolio website, begin writing my wedding, and improve my artistic skills in general. In order to do this, I'm going to need a slate to start from, and an area to display my ideas. Livejournal, I'm suspecting, will help make that easier. We'll see.
Unlike some of my previous blogs, I will probably post visuals more often than usual. This is largely a ploy to get me off my ass and start using the Wacom tablet I paid a ton of money for at the beginning of this year. I will probably keep many of my posts substantially more private than before, because of my increasing concerns about looking like a fool due to an online presence. Long-term, we'll see how that goes.
For now, five posts a week, of something. Public or private, doesn't matter. That's the goal. Feel free to watch if you want to, only keep score if you're bored.
