I was cleaning out my desk at work (because I quit! woohoo!) and I found a handout about blogging that I got two years ago at a graphic design conference in San Diego. It was given to me in a workshop given by Keri Smith, an illustrator who's blog I've been reading and illustration I've been admiring ever since. I even bought her book, "Living Out Loud," so if anyone wants to borrow it, let me know.
At the time, I really had no idea what a blog was--though I had been following this marathoner for some time without realizing it was a blog--so I didn't give it much thought. Well, yesterday I read through the handout, down to the part where it says: "too much detail can sometimes serve to isolate the reader, share moments that are interesting to you, not necessarily the minutiae of your day." Gulp. So sorry for this. Sorry I isolated you, my three dear readers. Thanks for sticking with me despite that!

I didn't find anything wrong with the night with the baby post. I guess I can relate. So when can we get together and you can show me the link thing - both in the post and at the side?
well, as that book is about activities to fuel a creative life, I guess I'll have to pass. As my life is thouroghly uncreative in every way, I don't see how it can fuel my life. sad.
let's get together, yah, yah, yah. Anytime. I'm going with mom this sunday to Grandma's, so before or after that. or during, if you're on a laptop. It's easy. Actually, it took me a while to figure it out because I'm on a macintosh and neither browser supported the whole blogger thing, so I had to download another browser, but you probably won't have to do that because you're not on a mac. are you? P.S. I love the template you chose for your blog.
micky-d, you think your all uncreative in every way, but I beg to differ. Besides, it's for those of us who are uncreative, anyway.
Micky-D - you are so not uncreative, infact I love the title of your blog, and the way you express yourself in language...
Megglee - I actuallly sat down and took the time to read the info about links (the trick is to right down the commands, heh heh) and I had a few mistakes before I created my links section in the side bar but I think I've got it! Let's get together anyway!
