Creating Instead of Reposting

If you are wondering why I haven’t posted anything here in awhile, it’s because I have been distracted by other things.

One of them is my calligraphy blog, www.dailycalligraphy.com which I started up a few months ago. It’s a collection of found quotes, phrases, and sometimes my own thoughts (and yes, this includes my infamous haikus). The goal of the site is to document my process as I learn the art of calligraphy.

I have to say, I enjoy posting stuff I’m working on much more than posting what I discover online. Though I still get a lot of my quotes from other resources, just actually sitting down and working on something is much more fun. I also like how I’m able to use a blogging service as a resource to keep me practicing, and to easily show my instructors, fellow classmates, and friends what I’m doing.
