On Saturday, I got my bike out to commute to the U-Dist Farmers Market for a Plant Clinic errand and then the P-patch for a garden work party and discovered... flat tires. I couldn't figure out the air pump either. Sigh.
I mention this to make use of a timely metaphor. Right now, my professional website has flat tires. It's been sitting, neglected, in the corner of the room, gathering dust. And worst, I'm not being "transported" by it. I think I need help. Of course it needs air. It needs... filler. I need to show more projects and I need to define my Design Philosophy. It seems an impossible task, right now, to prioritize it. I need to try taking shifts with the website air pump.
A good friend, Courtney, has given me inspiration to keep up with my blog. She recently wrote about using her blogging as a way to commit to her business and be disciplined in setting aside time for her art. I'll take her cue. You'll find her work at The Healing Nest and Quiet Girl Gallery. Thanks Courtney.

I love the metaphor you have created here. I have felt this "flat tire" energy at times, too.
One thing that has helped me blog more regularly is imagining an attentive and eagerly-waiting audience for my blog (even if it doesn't exist!). I sometimes imagine the type of person who would read my blog regularly and write to that imaginary person. It has certainly helped!
I do hope you continue blogging, Juliet. Your writing is engaging and articulate and your ideas are so insightful and relevant!
Go Blogger Girl!
Courtney
