There are lots of reasons to blog – to reach out to other like-minded people, to carve a space in the vastness of t’Internet or just to have a place to express yourself.
Why do I blog?
Guilt.
I may not have thousands of followers hanging on my latest post but part of me refuses to acknowledge that fact. So as the week rolls on and I contemplate what to write about, there’s a certain element of deadline guilt that sets in if I haven’t quite managed all I set out to do.
This week has been particularly frustrating because I’ve got several projects in hand that I desperately want to talk about but haven’t quite got to the point where I can share them.
There’s this one, that I’m trying to finish up while experimenting with some in-progress shots which render most of my Hovel inaccessible.
There’s this one which is still very much sloshing around in the rinse cycle of my creative washing machine.
I’m hoping some communing with artists past might gain me some ground.
Finally, there’s this one which is very exciting… but I can’t reveal anything about it until Sunday.
So how about it, do I get a passing mark for this week?
