krdesignservices.com

I have a website. I have a way to communicate my talents and services provided with the real world. I am excited to start heading in the right direction. One more semester left of school and I will have my double major in advertising design and web design. I am proud to put myself in motion. I have to say thank you to anyone and everyone that I have bothered in order to get this done.

As far as I can tell, I may just be a real, live designer.

Use it or lose it.

This is my New Year's resolution.
And I'm already a day behind.


I've always enjoyed writing. Writing fiction, writing in a journal, writing journalistic style. I just don't have enough will to stick by it. I'm always so busy with other things, this, that, blah blah blah.
No more excuses.
I will post AT LEAST once a day. I will not depend on it as a memoir by any means, but it will be an outlet for my creative mind to (hopefully) flow.


Since I am already a day behind, I will start by writing about what I did yesterday.
Since I started at my new job, I have worked every Saturday since the beginning of August. Yesterday was my first Saturday off. Yesterday was WONDERFUL. All I did was clean and do laundry and watch Charmed. I tried my hand at drawing, but that didn't go over so well.

I used to be able to knock out an 18x24 charcoal drawing in less than a 3 hour class period. Now I'm trying to draw a picture of my (beautiful) god-daughter and nothing. I guess that saying "use it or lose it" applies to drawing. For me anyway. I am disappointed that I have not tried to draw anything in almost two years. I am disappointed that I may have lost something I worked very hard for.

It is a great feeling to hear people tell you what a great job you've done on, especially when they are bewildered by it. That's what happens when people see my drawings. Now what do I have? A box of charcoal pencils and an empty pad of drawing paper.

I haven't given up (yet). But I am disheartened for the moment.

Maybe that should be another one of my New Year's resolutions...
