With the changes and additions I have been making to this blog, I should have commented on the whats and whys. I’m becoming…I wouldn’t want to say “goal oriented,” but rather, I feel a need to simplify, to streamline things so that they fit more comfortably with who I am and how I prefer to do things. This doesn’t mean that I am cutting down on my writing or my photography. Instead, I find in me a desire to compartmentalize. Here, less trivia (according to my idea of trivia, anyway). At Postcard Art, more of my photographs. At Quiet Spaces, more creative and domestic work (poetry, recipes, hobbies, daily life), and at LiveJournal I want to center on conversations, interactions and generally on being a member of a broader community. Note to self: I must remember to post more links to point people to relevant posts on my other blogs.
I still am not sure about Facebook. I have a business presence there, as well as family, and so I wouldn’t want to drop FB entirely. Twitter? I have not gotten into Twitter. Google Plus will depend on whether there is a large local segment with opportunities to interact with folks my own region of the country. As with all things, finances also play a role. As always, Blogspot is good for announcements and updates. ETA: If I concentrate my creative writing on my SFF.Net space, it will be easier for me to find it. As I find time, I plan to go through the posts on that blog and move what doesn’t fit that pattern to another blog.
Because I am so limited in my contacts with people in the RL environment, Internet and letter writing take on added importance. I expect that trend to continue as years pass.
