The Fruits of Fruitful Procrastination
Good Wednesday!
It's back to real work tomorrow for me, but before I start drafting again, I wanted to share my new procrastination outlets for 2012.
One of my goals for the year was to find healthier ways to interact with the internet. Ways that didn't leave me feeling stupid or unpopular or small or depressed or filled with useless angst and woe. And that also didn't take up too much time since I need to stay focused on the jobs at hand. I'm happy to say I've found several fun things to do that have made me happier both on the net and out and about in the world.
First up, I've started a Tumblr--http://staceyjayya.tumblr.com/--primarily for the posting of photographs. (I've really let my photography hobby slip in the past two years, and I want to take more pictures in 2012. I'm aiming for 400 entries by the end of the year, so there should always be something to look at over there.)
You'll see some nature-y stuff:
Some preshush loin fruit stuff (this one with nature included):
And snapshots of some of our local heroes, including Lief Goatrickson, the bearded Viking goat who lives down the lane. (And who I've been stalking for over a month, waiting for him to be at the fence when I happened to drive by. My camera made many useless trips to the grocery store and gym, but finally we were ready and we snapped Lief, and his beard, in action.)
Lief is a charming guy and modeled for me with enthusiasm and much tossing of his chin hair. If only I'd known he was that amiable, I would have called him over to the fence sooner. Really, a great goat. I'll be visiting him with a treat again soon.
If you're on Tumblr, friend me or whatever and I'll friend or follow or whatever I'm supposed to do back. (Can you tell I'm new over there?) I'd love to see what you all are tumbling.
I've also started three Pinterest Boards. Lovelies, Scaries, and Books, the Good Stuff. I'm having so much fun discovering news artists and illustrators and revisiting my old favorites (and I think this will be a good way to keep track of my reading for the year). I find art very inspirational. It's a great break from writing that leaves me feeling excited to dive back into my work.
So there you go! I'll include a link to those places on and off throughout the year, when I think I've got something fun to share.
Starting to get ready for real work to begin!
Off to brainstorm titles and pay bills and finish filling the office shelves with books. Before and After office pictures to come next week.
