What have I been doing?
Mostly, I’ve been going through a separation and divorce. I’m not going to write too much about it here. You might see some pieces of it in work that I put up in the next few weeks.
I will say that it’s really hard to go through a separation and divorce! Who knew?! Most of my energy has been tied up in that for over a year and I feel like haven’t accomplished much in that time.
Of course, just getting through it has been an accomplishment. I hung in there. I lived my life and did an okay job. I kept writing and working on art projects for fun and to stay sane. I told myself stories.
Now that I’m through it, I want to step it up. I’ve been doing more in the past few months and I want to buckle down and commit to the work of making things. I want to share stories.
I’m experimenting with visual arts: painting, little comics, paper crafts and greeting cards (which are so fun!), and embroidery.
I’m journaling a lot and writing poetry here and there. I have a lot of ideas for stories to share and for different ways I might tell those stories.
I’m discovering what sorts of stories I want to share and investigating what I find compelling about others’ work.
I read a lot! I’ve read 29 books so far this year. I’m going to do a blog post about some of the things I’ve read, so keep an eye out for that!
I’m watching movies and tv shows that are new to me. (I’m the girl who has watched all of New Girl five times and most of the X-Files three times.)
I’ve updated the look of this website and over the next couple of weeks, I’ll be adding some of the things I’ve been working on.
I’ve been living quietly, watching for what I have to offer. I think there might be something and that’s exciting even if I don’t know what it is yet.
