I've been cheating on you

I have a confession to make. I have two other blogs.

No, really, it's not you; it's me. I just have needs that a fashion blog alone can't fill.

:D Sorry, couldn’t resist, lol.

All kidding aside, these two other blogs are actually recent creations. They are not wardrobe or style related in the least. They are both for my writing – I want to be/am a writer.

One blog is a journal type of thing...poetry, essays, ruminations and the odd bit of whatever else pops into my head. It’s called, “Miscellaneous Brain Music”. I think it will be nice to have a distinct place for snippets of writing & various thoughts.

The other blog is “1000 Words Each Day”. This is essentially a place for a novel in progress (she said hopefully). A few times a week I'll post some of the VERY rough drafts from my daily work. It keeps me motivated to continue as I see the pages accumulate there, rather than just as a list in a Word file or as stacks of paper scattered on my dining table. The entries are not in story order, just slapped up there as written, almost like little vignettes. We’re talking totally no frills, very raw. I may sometimes go back and post edits & changes -- so it’s also transitory.

So, there you have it. Please feel free to check them out, leave comments – or not. If you just want to continue tuning in to this blog alone that’s absolutely wonderful too, I’m happy for the company along the journey on any branch of the path.

I now return you to your regularly scheduled style blog :)

See ya Tuesday with an outfit pic, hope everyone had a great weekend!

Well, well. It's always the quiet ones isn't it?

I just had a quick glimpse at your other blogs, and will return to them both when I have more time, but suddenly I am seeing you in a new light....

Thanks Kayleigh. Will check out your other blogs.

This is the reason I had to kind of change my blog after a couple of months, to get outside just the style angle. I wanted to do other things, too. Started another blog but gave it up and just expanded the range of my first one.

Good luck. 1000 words a day is a great way to keep writing; I used to do that and it was fun.

Thanks for sharing Kayleigh! Off to check them out. It's obvious from this blog that you are a very talented writer. Blogs are such a cool new medium too.

Thanks everyone!

Thanks notSupermum :D Your cute comment made me laugh...maybe I was tickled because if you knew me you'd know "quiet" isn't a word often used to describe me, lol. But I know exactly what you mean. Oh, and I hope it's a good light, yes?

Sallymandy, thanks! You know, I thought of expanding this blog, and so many of you talented bloggers cover such a vast range and do it so well, but I couldn't seem to envision it for this blog -- so I gave up and instead compartmentalized, so to speak :)

La Belette -- thank you, again, for your lovely comment over at novel...it meant the world to me :D

Trace -- aww, thanks, how nice of you to say that :) And you are right, blogs are a really cool venue, I love them so much I couldn't stop at one, lol!

Thanks again everyone!
