Quad identity

I feel like I have more than one personality every time I switch blog sites. Once I create a blog, I feel committed to it. It feels like, well, I started something, now I can't end it.

Luckily, I have a title for each site reminding me of what part of me is writing now. This here is the artist me.

Okay, I took the tape off the underwater watercolor I finished yesterday. The finished painting looks fine, but it resembles a landscape. Which it is, underwater though. However, I asked a friend what she thought of it. She said it looked like miles of Colorado fields.

My aim is to create underwater landscapes without fish, but that's not working at the moment.

Too many blog sites

jcarlin.blog.com - writer's blog including self-publishing experience

blogger.com - artist's blog starting now.

I suppose I should separate my creativity.

Updated blogging

Good grief. How many blogs does one person need? I've blogged regularly at two other sites, and happened to come back here in order to post on someone else's blog. That's when I remembered that I had an account here also.

Okay then. My other two blogs are at:
jcarlin.blog.com
and
jcarlin.aarp.org

Otherwise, I will return here as often as possible.

A blog here, a blog there

My recent blogs are at jcarlin.blog.com.

I suppose I could cut and paste and maintain both here and there, but that takes up a lot of time doesn't it?

How many blogs do you maintain?

New Submission

About to send in a 700 word fiction to a local magazine for possible publication. I usually write in first person based on nonfiction experiences. It's a habit that my fiction was also in first person. After the fourth reading, I changed POV to third person. The change seemed to read better. One more reading, and I'll send it out.

Blog change

I'm blogging at http://jcarlin.blog.com for general writing and painting.

This blog site is for autobiography, but I'm heading off to other avenues. I may return here, but as blogging goes, we'll see.

More writing

Since November of 2008, I've experienced more impulses to write in various modes. At the moment, I'm preparing a screenplay for a workshop I'm attending.

Never having done one before, it's a challenge but increases my experience as a writer.
