A Universe Within. A year of blogging. Five days a week. The Power and Thrill of Naming Things. Sketchtopia. Clayland. Comics. Memes. Creative Tools. Writing Tools. Work Tools. Sundry items from dinosaurs to cartoon avatars. Lessons Learned Got better at drawing Came up with creative ideas that I still use I enjoyed revisiting past creativity (Clayland and Sketchtopia) Put ideas into reality, even if mildly Now, I'll be moving in a different direction. I want to focus my free time on novel writing. This may not be THE end to the blog, but it is AN end. Ideas Moving Forward Maybe a blog post once a week with a focus on bigger and more polished posts Or perhaps an e-newsletter along with the blog post Some of the blog content may be turned into short picture books The future lurks in the distance, ruminating on possibilities Thanks for joining.
