There is a lot of talk lately on one of my online art groups about twitter and it's advantages vs. disadvantages. I think it is not for me as yet. As one member said, you have to have something to market or really want to share/say something out there to make it work for you. Otherwise it is just another crap fun share show...
I am not at that stage yet. I can barely keep up here and with all the other stuff in my life, am keeping it simple. But want to keep the momentum of sharing here. Nothing earth shattering, nothing to sell or promote as yet. One artist's post I appreciate reading lately is pulling away from the "blog" concept. He feels people are trying to make their writing too "important." He has redesigned his whole presentation to just essays. Then another friend I know just keeps putting up beautiful pictures of places and things around her area and life. Nice... just a quick look at somewhere else in world where someone thought enough to arrange beauty in their life, or nature Herself is especially inspiring.
So, as a compromise I will post here more frequently just by sharing things I find here and there. Short posts, longer than twitter but linking to other things I find beautiful, creative, or just inspiring... others' artDreams which get me going.
Here is the one for today, looks like a lovely book. The video of the author and a preview of a documentary about him is inspiring by themselves. The video is shown below the book listing:
The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind by William Kamkwamba
