The Muse That Keeps Getting Away
There are many ways I come up with blog post topics to publish. Most days, I sit down in front of my computer (or phone) and allow myself to just type, see what comes out, and then refine. Other times, I write intentional posts about topics… Continue reading →
I joined Mb at the tail end of March and have never done a proper intro. It’s intentional because I don’t like talking about myself. However, we were encouraged to post one up as a part of Blaugust so an Intro post it is. Read more here →
Thinking Out Loud About My Photos Overload
