The August Break
Since I've been struggling with this little old blog I'm taking The August Break. Susannah Conway has organized The August Break 2011. The idea is to take a photo a day (or as often as you like) and experience the month through the lens of your camera. It's a way to take away the expectations and pressures of regular blogging. Just what I need.
There are over 650 participants. And no rules. I hope to share with you things that inspire me, glimpses into my daily life and maybe some projects I'll be working on.

Finding a Happy Medium
under construction
If you haven't noticed I've been neglecting my blog. I just haven't been able to get excited about it. Last week I remembered something I learned at college in a memoir writing class.
"If you don't like writing in your journal it's probably because you're writing in a big intimidating book with the word JOURNAL printed on it."
The professor recommended finding a smaller book with a cover that expressed something about you. Or using a book without lines on the pages. Or getting a special pen that you only use for writing in your journal. I took the suggestion, and guess what? I became a journal writer. Now I'm not very consistent, but I write more than I used to.
Why am I telling you all this? Because I think the same thing applies to my blog. I read so many creative and fantastic looking blogs that have really great content, that when I look at my own I get discouraged. I've been trying a few new templates, (one I absolutely HATED). I'm contemplating doing weekly features to give the content more structure. I welcome any comments or suggestions. And don't be surprised if you check back and I have a completely new look.
