Becoming a person who blogs, (a blogger?) is enthralling, and I consider it a gift to share my work and my activities through this medium. Each day I learn new aspects of bringing this baby—my website and my blog—to life. Though this project involves huge time-consuming processes, with time and practice, I expect it to begin to sail.
In addition to studying tutorials and experimenting with various components this week, I figured out how to create that little icon that goes in the browser’s tab with the site’s name. That made my day! Well, that and the fact that I connected with some friends I haven’t heard from in a long time.
Learning the ins and outs of WordPress/Elementor may take me some time, some playing around, and some luck. Writing the blog may also involve play and luck, but—it exhibits quite a different type of attention. I grow through the act of writing (perhaps akin to how I grow through choreographing and performing). Writing helps provide new insights, clarification, and enhanced understandings of various topics.
How do you work? I tend to follow different pathways, depending on the project. Frequently I learn by doing and experimenting along the way—then going back and re-evaluating and shifting again. This is where I am on my current movie project—I’ll tell you more about that later.
Peeling away layers, rearranging content, and an enormous amount of additional editing is in my future. How exciting! I hope this blog activity blossoms. Finding the work, combing it, and applying new perspectives tends to reveal latent entities within me—again, new insights. I learn more about myself. And, at some point, perhaps through Off the Marley, we can interact and bat some ideas back and forth.
