*tap tap tink* This thing on?

Apparently so. At least, if you can read this; if the imps eat it and it vanishes before appearing, no one but I will necessarily know, right? :)

I've been away for quite a while, I know. I was using this blog for The Artist's Way, and suddenly all that structuredness went away, and all my plans to put something in its place went foof, and unstructured stuff goes in my other blog (much of it filtered so only specific groups of people can see it, even), and....

...and darnit, after you have not-posted for that long, it's embarrassing. I mean, here I am, I just vanished off the face of the earth. For the most part I haven't kept up with everyone else's blogs the way I meant to either. Ack!

Anyway. I'm here. I'm still not reading most of the blogs I wasn't reading but I have them all in my list for some day. I obviously first need to let go of the idea of catching up on every missed post since many of you have made over 100 posts while I was away.... Reading them all would be lovely, but realistically, I won't manage it.

For now, I'm just going to start trying to be active here again. By jumping into the deep end and trying a run at Art Everyday Month. Because overkill is your friend. Or something.

I will try for art every day. If I miss a day, I will come back and try again the next day. Maybe that will at least keep me from creeping off at the first 'failure to be here' and vanishing for a long while again....

Meanwhile, I have uploaded a bunch of photos over on Flickr since the last time I updated, at least....
