Blog or not to blog, that is the question!
I have been tuning into a lot of blogs/vlogs lately, to the point of doing some actual research into it to see if I could be successful at it. To begin with, it seems like a lot more work to maintain then a cyber journal! The consistent content, proper editing/proofreading and promoting work that is required is a little daunting/risky for this non-risk-taking, every so often journaler (I averaged about every 3 months this year so far). Also, vlogging is all video and I have a major case of stage fright when it comes to showcasing myself or anything I do in this way.
Although it did give me the kick in the butt to slowly start the process for my book of the week/craft project of the week plan. It seemed like a challenge to broaden my horizons, heh. I am currently in the process of taking books that catch my interest from the "100 best seller" lists of every Barnes&Noble (as that was where I came up with the idea) subject. So far I've completed one subject list (fiction) and going by that list (34 books out of the 100), it seems like this project will be a massive read! Granted this is just the list organization, so hopefully, I will still be energized to do any of it by the time I acquire all the books (I gave myself to the end of the year for the planning/organization stage). I am even thinking about producing the ideas that come from the books (especially the nonfiction section(s)) versus just reporting/reviewing my opinions on each book I read. Well...maybe not, the more I think/plan, the more expansive I get!
At the moment, my attitude for the craft project of the week is mostly just talk. While I feel like I have the necessary skill-set for the reading, I don't seem to have the confidence in my competence for the skill-set(s) needed to do any sort of consistent crafting (which is probably why my crafting entertainment is few and far between).
