The ‘Write I Must’ Days
I have extremely dusty journal entries from various blogs over the years in different web locations. I would love to bring them all (the good, the bad and the sheer crap) across to this space when time permits.
When I read an ancient blog entry of mine (usually by accident), it always makes me smile… for many reasons but mainly embarrassment and nostalgia… Ah, the constant struggle within to express myself artistically.
It’s always amusing when you compare your lifestyle today with how it was some years back (my “Write I Must” days). (Well, I always have a good laugh at my comparison.) It’s funky and a bit dangerous that I have a lot of it documented online–even if the majority of the writing makes me cringe.
I wish that I hadn’t kept moving around online… If I’d stayed put, by now people out there would feel like they really, really know me. (That may not be the greatest thing, but I still think it would have advantages.) Take Alex The Girl for instance; I have been following her site for a long time. I too would have liked to have offered a long standing existence to readers out there. Looking at my blog presently, there is no evidence to suggest that I have been blogging since 1999. Yep, serves me right for being a web fugitive.
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking this week about my web projects (which ones to drop and which ones to develop), my interests (I feel like I have too many) and ultimately how I can come out of my shell artistically. I need to do a lot of re-connecting with myself.
So, tonight I registered yet another domain. I went with a name that I hope will act as a constant reminder to myself, and which will help me to continue to embrace why I enjoy being me, and more importantly: to remain creatively inspired. “Create I Must”.
