allow me to introduce the situation at hand...only this time, described outside of my normal "woeful-poet" dialect, because not everyone is fluent in the language of my written pity party.
sigh.
amazingly enough, the only way I feel at ease expressing myself is in the comfort of my own notebook. ironic, considering the harshest critic of any writer is themself. so my safe haven is a paradox of astronomical proportions.
it's not my intention to come across as some whiney, egotistical bitch. nor am I one to dissect my problems via blog for the sole purpose of gaining concern and sympathetic reasurrance from complete strangers. the day my blog is met with comments of commiseration and pity is the day i stop sharing my writing. my purpose for this blog, for this domain, is to find and communicate with other writers (and I'm incredibly fortunate for the ones who continue to push me, because it really does guilt trip me into writing these blogs) and to provide the reader with something along the lines of poetic or thought-provoking.
i think one of the main reasons that i've been neglecting my domain is because I have neither the skills nor the stamina necessary to keep up with the competitiveness of web design. which is fine by me, because as much respect as I have for those who can code and design websites; i completely despise it. so either barbiehead is going to be designed identical to the layout you see now, minus the image, just white on black, or someone's going to make me a layout and force me to use it. honestly, i'm just sick of looking at this damn setup. from complete strangers. the day my blog is met with comments of commiseration and pity is the day i stop sharing my writing. my purpose for this blog, for this domain, is to find and communicate with other writers (and I'm incredibly fortunate for the ones who continue to push me, because it really does guilt trip me into writing these blogs) and to provide the reader with something along the lines of poetic or thought-provoking.
