In terms of blog content and goals, I'd like this to be repository of what I learn along the way, a collection of resources to refer back to, and a place to show off my finished work. I find that writing about my thoughts helps to clarify them, and I believe that a blog-format type of journal lends itself well to the sort of multimedia content I envision producing. I'm planning to buy some supplies this weekend and then I can post some real work.
I've decided to try something new, something I've thought about for quite a while. I'm going to take up painting miniatures. I play D&D and board games (and Magic, but that's not relevant to the discussion), both of which have unpainted miniatures. The kind that make you say, "That's pretty cool, but I wish there were more detail, or color, or personality." So this little, or not-so-little, project should tie in nicely with my other hobbies and interests. I sort of envision myself sitting at my patio table outdoors in the warm California sun on weekend afternoons (and some weekday evenings, once the time change hits and it is light at night) working on my toys in the fresh air. I think I'm realistic enough to accept that my work is not going to look that great at first, and I'm probably never going to invest the time to produce anything as nice as what you see elsewhere. I'm also aware that one of my worst character flaws is a lack of follow-through. But, I'm intrigued enough to want to try.
