rebuilding my relationship with writing
At some point, I realized that I have difficulty writing. It doesn't come out as easily as drawing, but the urge is there. I think I'm holding myself back. So for today, during my break, I'll try to allow myself to fail.
I usually write these posts with some kind of outline. It's a habit from writing for purely academic reasons. It's not necessarily a bad habit, but as a result I'm not as...loose when writing. It's unlike doodling; a way of portraying my ideas without having to refine it. I just want to make it exist in the first place!
All this comes from my conflicted feelings towards blogging. Suddenly, my words lack any weight. The fear starts creeping in.
I want to write these as a letter to my future self. I want to write longer thoughts! I want to write shorter thoughts! I just wanna write!
this week's shinies ⋆˚࿔
A couple of links to stuff I'd like to revisit!
I love to look at faces by Reimena Yee: A blog post from an artist whose work I've admired for a long time. I feel the same way about looking at and drawing faces!
mm blue’s website: I love how a website is part of the art itself. It is not just a repository of images, it IS part of the whole image itself.
Lun’awhag on Facebook: A local eco-friendly project that aims to foster sustainability with the products we use on a daily basis. I have yet to buy any of their products, but I want to keep them in mind.
Hannah Witton’s homestretch goals for 2025: I like the idea of setting yourself up for success by making goals that you know will get fulfilled in one way or another, and they bring you joy, not pressure. Made my own homestretch goals! We'll see how it looks like at the end of the year.
