Why blog? Why journal? I've journeled for years, partially to get things out of my head, and partially because the physical act of writing relaxes me. Being on the computer does not, however, so I'm wondering if this is the best idea for me. I have to spend so much time on the computer for work and school, I prefer to spend what little free time I have doing non-electronic things. I know I'm old fashioned, and I'm only 37.
I do believe that even with all of the amazing technology we have easy access to, we shouldn't forget the joys of "unplugging" regularly as well. I have 3-5 sketchbooks ready at all times and I love to read print on paper. Especially magazines, then you can make notes in pen in the margins and rip out and keep the parts you want and recycle the rest. Of course if you read the pieces online, you can print just want you want and extra paper isn't used to begin with.
About Me
- Ann-Monique
- Yes, I am an artist. In addition to that still distant dream of being a "known" artist, I am also currently a Navy Wife of 15 years and a MOMMY!!!! I never thought I would have enjoyed being a stay at home Mom or moving every 3 years to places all over the world as much as I have. Whenever I started to feel that I didn't spend enough time on my art, I told myself that I am absorbing a lot of potentially very inspirational life experiences. I still have to tell myself that from time to time.
