When I first started the blog, I set up three categories. "Lined Pages" was my every day journal writing; "The Azure Journal" was extended essays about my family; "The Red Journal" was supposed to be fiction. Only it didn't work. I would start writing, and it might morph from a basic entry into an extended one, or turn into fiction, or be none of the above. So I just gave it up.

I'm beginning to think I may split the blog into two: one for writing and one for art. But then if I start writing about what I did over the weekend and it was mainly art, do I post it to one and not the other. Way too confusing and brings out my worst anal tendencies. So forget it. But I am going to have an art journal site that will be mainly visual. This weekend is the set up, so look here soon for the link.

I finally bought the Moleskine sketch journal, which I ended up finding at Borders, the very last one, Haven't used it yet, work has eaten me up this week. Then my wonderful artist friend, Julianna sent me a copy of The Studio Reloaded, Teesha Moore's cool zine (don't rush to subscribe to it because it is a closed sub list. I missed the sign-up period by being on vacation!!) Anyway, Julianna has kindly lent me hers - and what else was in the envelope she mailed from D.C.? An incredibly cool, tiny, "Van Gogh Moleskine" in beautiful persimmon orange.

How cool are artist friends??
