I didn’t even make it to day 2 for my “one picture a day” experiment and at the end of the day, when I remembered, I realized that if I crammed to get something shot and written, then I would be missing the point. I think I like the idea of things – like being a constant photographer and chronicling my uneventful life, but I think I’m so forgetful and distractible that I’ve never been able to keep this up.
Like, I have a bunch of posts on this blog that aren’t public, not because there’s something wrong with them, but because there is no cohesion to them. Perhaps that’s the idea. Maybe if I go back through my personal archive of writing and blog posts (I have a lot) I can start to see the stork in the snow.
But, I don’t need another project. I already have a dissertation and a novel/novels to write.
I do like the YouTube channel, though. I feel less pressure to be consistent there and it’s a type of creativity I’m not used to. I spent most of my time online not presenting myself at all. At least not in any visual media. I no longer care what anyone thinks. Perhaps I’ll make a video about why.
Enjoy “My First Writing Vlog” and keep an eye out for other stuff, sporadically, or in batches. Who knows?
