Facebook

I joined Facebook a couple of days ago in order to get to know more people. I found that some of my high school classmates were at the site as well. One individual was a girl I knew from junior high school. It's funny, I am not sure that my blog is of interest to others, so I'm not sure how invested I am in spreading the news that it is here. I have been drawing the last few days but I am unsure that it is going anywhere. I am just doing sketches, and I don't know that these will turn into anything else. I have no idea where I am going with this, there is just not much I am interested in at the moment. The Facebook site is great for meeting new people and it takes me away from this blog. I'm not sure how I feel about this. The more time I spend meeting others, the less time I have to work. One thing about being consumed with artwork is that there is little time for others. I just read a quote recently that said: It takes teamwork to make a dream work. And I think this is true. I spend way too much time alone and I have no close friends anymore. Being consumed with art and family takes all of my time. I am not sure that I am ever going to make anything of this blog, it is just not going anywhere. What do I do with it? How do I make others aware of it? A question I ask myself a lot is this worth the time I am putting into it? And a more honest question might be is my art good enough to justify the time I put into it? Could I be doing something better with my time? When I was in art school I left after two semesters because it was clear that there were those who were much better than me. It took me a long time to get over that. My grades were exceptional but I felt no joy in what I was doing, I saw no future in being second best. Now I create because I enjoy it.
