Sketchbook #36
Most months, I take this post as an opportunity to reflect on the creative goals I’d set, and decide what I want to try to do in the coming month. Sometimes, taking that time to reflect leads me in a direction that doesn’t really fit into the standard format I’ve established for these ‘sketchbooks.’ Which…

Project365: #358-365
I still don’t know what possessed me to try a 365 project in 2017. When I started, I was pretty sure it would turn out like the attempts I’d made before: three months in, I’d be taking the most boring snapshots in the world, simply to fulfil the obligation. I didn’t think that I’d make…

And, because I’m still tweaking my outlining method, I’ve been looking at what other people say…

Sketchbook #24
This hasn’t been a great month. I’ll just get that out of the way to start: I haven’t done nearly as much writing as I’d hoped, and photography has been a bit of a struggle, and I still haven’t started my painting. But weirdly, I’m ok with that. I’m realizing that this is completely normal…

Project365: #155-161
I’m still at a creative low. It’s not just photography – I wasn’t all that enthusiastic about writing this week, either, and a lot of my other projects sort of stalled on me.

Snapshot #48 | 10 Things for 10 April 2016
The last few weeks, I’ve been: debating | cleaning | rolling | thinning | taking | thinking | trying | wondering | feeling | searching
