I
know what my goal for this blog is. To write everyday, produce a
piece of artistic work every week and share it with, well I would say
the world but I have a feeling only about 5 people actually read this
so let's just say, the internet. I am trying to find my voice and not
complain. Because I could do one of those angry hate everyone blogs,
and it would probably be a lot funnier and possibly more interesting
than this one but then there is the chance of getting sued right? I
guess what I am getting at is, what about when this is over? I have
an idea for a craft blog for next year, as I have previously
mentioned, a totally different take. But what else? Where do I want
this to go? To make it my job? Publish a book? Of patterns? Basic
craft projects? What? Work at a magazine? An online publication?
Start my own? Who knows? I would love to write full time. I am
just..... realistic. I fear I am not good enough. That my work is not
up to this impossible perfect writing standard that it takes to be a
writer full time, a standard I have no way of reaching. Like I said
that discourage thing is rearing it's ugly head.
I blog as a way to archive my thoughts. The fact that some people read it (and I doubt that there are many) is just extra. And readership grows slowly, but steadily over time. If you are feeling burnt out from so much writing you could try reducing the number of posts that you write each week.
ReplyDeleteThis is my favorite blog. I find it very inspiring. http://attic24.typepad.com/
