Changes
August 12th 2010 12:14
As I'm sure you can tell, Fictional Worlds has undergone a major facelift over the last couple of days. It all began with me creating a banner-I've made two, including the one you see above-and then I changed the blog's theme to match the banner more.
They say a change is as good as a rest and while I'm not quite sure I believe them-or ever did believe them-I am quite happy with the physical changes to Fictional Worlds. I am trying to make other changes-changes in my schedule, my commitments, and my life overall-and this is just the beginning. Over the next few months I will be sharing writing related changes here and more personal changes on my other blog.
I am incredibly grateful to all those who have stayed with me throughout the last two months during which I've posted less than half as much as I should. It's time to think about my commitment both to my passion of writing and to my love of blogging.
While this summer has been almost dull for me-without any of the trips out of town I wanted or very much writing completed-it's also been full of change. My change is largely inspired by a very dear friend of mine, Sam, who spent the first month of this summer in the Bahamas. The lucky girl who is one of the most talented artists I've ever met was artist in residence at a summer camp.
She's back now and with her came the beautiful shell that you see in this post. Seeing her again and seeing just how much she's grown as a person and an artist over this last month is incredibly inspiring. Although it makes me ache for a place that isn't here and desparately wish I could escape the city, it also brings me great joy. The shell sits on my writing desk now and it's an inspiration.
Sam has big dreams and I have dreams that are just as big, and together we'll accomplish them. We have to make some changes to ourselves and to our lifestyles but someday we'll travel the world, and someday the two of us will change the world around us.
It all starts now in those precious last few months between being dependant and almost being a kid and being an adult, independant and ready to face anything the world has to throw at me. This is the summer of change and there are crazy times ahead.
Come with me on my journey?
