Hi Ladies. Thank you for asking. It's okay. Lots of work to do... don't feel supported by the Advance Studio instructor... wonder what he's up to and if I am being set up so to speak.
I've been thinking about how I should approach writing about the experience on my blog. I could get into subject matter that some would not like me to put on the blog. So.... I have to be careful.
You know? It's in the beginning stages. It has to go through so many cycles. I have to come to a point when I can defend my ideas without getting defensive. I speak to each person differently. The way I would answer my instructors is different than I would answer someone who came to my show.
So.... I am still an infant in this game. I must learn to calm down and not take everyone and everything so seriously. I'm wound too tightly.
How are you both doing? Whatchya'all up to?

i've been reading Dooce, about how she lost her job due to her blog, and coined the name. interesting stuff. and a GREAT daily read.
i never thought i'd be reading a personal blog on a daily basis, but statements like "She stuck her fore finger up my right nostril and held it there for much longer than was appropriate. It was her way of saying, “I didn’t know how specific you wanted me to get." get my giggle. i love to giggle.
but yes, you should be careful on what you say. although you can always edit edit edit ... :-)

a balancing act is so difficult. let us know how it comes about. k? do you have anyone to bounce your feels off, to see if you are coming across too serious or not? sometimes an outside opinion is just the ticket to calm a situation down. not that you are not calm, but just talking makes things clear for me. especially if it's a friend who takes the time to tell me i am wrong, or suggests that perhaps i could look at it 'this' way not 'that'.

the pgda is solidifying. and i've decided to create a blog 'designers who blog'. i won't have time to contribute daily to a design blog, but i want to join the blogging community in some way. after the logoworks high, i got hooked. but i've taken that off my katz blog and will design one just for 'designers who blog'. just the blogs who are giving back to the industry.
i'll also set up a blog for the pgda, while we are waiting for the site to be designed. but others will write that copy for me [or spiff up the copy i put together] so it won't be too time consuming. [famous last words]
