Since the creation of the other blog, I've been posting using the new Blogger editor. It's much better with respect to adding pictures especially. No more copying and pasting the code in the HTML editor to place your picture where you want it! Yay! Very important for the other blog since I want the pics to be placed uniformly throughout.
The big bad thing though: no spell check. That sucks. Now I gotta copy all my text and proof it in a word processor before I publish. Ugh! So if you see typos or blatant spelling errors, you know I got lazy and didn't do the necessary steps. (Like that word "necessary ", I always get it wrong and type "nessessary")
I've been posting less, I know, but it's only because my life is so damned unchanging. There's lots of good in that, like: what's stress? Hmmm, I think it was something I dealt with daily when I had a job. But there's also some bad points, like: what day is it? Friday? Already? And it's a new month too?
Finances are hangin' in there. Checks are coming in consistently and at the same time every two weeks. And I should be getting a good chunk o' cash from the IRS as my refund. No wild nights at Uno's, or Longhorn, or, especially, P-House! (Average costs for each: $60, $80, and $150 respectively!)
I don't know how long it'll take for me to be as good as I want to be in regards to my painting. I look at my first work and think it's not too bad...for a high school student! I may be too critical but I fear that without some coin being spent on classes to teach me more "tricks of the trade", I may not have a trade to begin with.
But then I think back so many years ago when I was in school to learn these skills, and how it seemed I learned nothing I didn't already know from my own research and practice. So I'll keep doing that and plodding on, churning out painting after painting 'till I get works that are actually great to look at and express real passion.
Then I'll sell them for as much as I can get!
