Doing a new thing: writing and watching a movie. Never done it before. I'm not too great at multi-tasking with entertainment: I'm either reading OR listening to music, etc. I must direct my attention or I feel overwhelmed. Even now I'm getting frazzled-ah! But I'm tired of having the ipod in my ears and The Birds is one of my favorite movies for sure. Tippi Hendren is just fabulous in this film, what a style. Sixties put-together-lady-about-town is one of my fashion weaknesses! Teal eyeshadow and a coral lip? Fitted pencil skirts? Pumps? Oh goodness. Anyway...
Today I've been revisiting the idea of starting my own website/blog thing. Been bitten by that bug again. Bounced it off my LJ friends and the one-ONE!- comment I got was positive. Especially about having multiple contributors, but since I posted that yesterday I'm thinking I want to do this on my own, but definitely have guest editors and writers now and then. Not to be selfish, but I think for creative control-and to see how far I can carry myself in the eye of writing, business, everything-I need to do this on my own.
I'm a bit afraid I'll end up copying my favorite bloggers subconsiously and not let MY creativity shine through. There's just so much I want to do, in writing and life. I think I need to channel in to one thing to write about for this project, and pursue other things in free writing or even other projects! I must just focus on one thing, funny how it's needed for other things in my life, but in writing it's so difficult! I want to inspire and delight and make people laugh, show them how to do things they want to do, make them feel anything's possible, give them eye candy for life, and show them how to get pretty and stay healthy. All of it in one project. Doable? I hope so!
My other issue is deciding if I want to do this on the internet or to make it a real life zine or magazine. The interwebz in a wonderful tool but will this feel more original, more substantial, if I can hold it in my hands? Of course if I make it into a tangible product, I'll need a website just to promote it! So once again, the internet is unavoidable. Damn you internet gods! Ha. Or MAYBE, once the site is successful, I can publish a book something to go with it! Or a sampler to get the word out? Ooh, ideas, ideas! I'm so on a roll with the ideas and thoughts-they're overflowing!- but putting them into action is going to be the hardest thing. Formulating them into solid things.
LIGHTNING! In the sky not my head. Okay, maybe there too ;)
AND THUNDER TO FOLLOW! Hahaha. Okay, now to watch The Birds. Night!
