why do i create?

a.k.a. 'resolution twenty-ten'

i was going to write about things i need to adjust in the new year but as i was brainstorming i came to the question that all artistic bloggers have to answer. why do i create?

the new year is a time to re-evaluate the state-of-the-blog and the state-of-the-create. i've been a bit stressed about my blog lately and have all but abandoned it. i failed to photograph the homemade christmas presents i gave away. i've been up to my elbows in puppy chores. i try and try to keep the house spotless just in case there's a showing. does the blog just get in the way? no, i love my blog.

i've decided that all i really need is new inspiration, a new focus. i recently picked up the publication Artful Blogger here. i'm going to try a few things differently this year. so stay tuned as my blog grows and develops in the coming weeks and months.

so, why do i create? well, today i create so i can photograph. i got out my watercolors and failed at the painting but took some pretty shots of the paint tubes. tomorrow, i'll just have to wait and see.
