Well everyone, here we are. The last day of May. There were two big changes this month. My blog stories and my art. I know that I've been flaky about my updates in the past. But I do believe that I have figured it out, as evidenced by these recent updates.
The turning point was when it was pointed out to me that I posted more creative things on my facebook page more often. I realized that I had to stop making things perfect and just go for it. That is how the teeny tiny blog stories began.
My "Blog Stories" are not easy for me to write. But I have been working on the system. 1) I start with a limited piece of paper, be it a sheet, the back of a menu, or the back of a receipt. 2) I think of a hook, one twist and an ending. The ending usually ends up being the twist, so often I just start with the hook and an ending. 3) I only allow myself one edit.* This edit is when I type up the story. 4) I post it.
*From an early age I learned that things could always be better. While true, I feel this has held me back from posting, because I never feel something is finished
