Every now and then, someone in real life will reference something they’ve seen me post online - not my personal page, stuff like that is all real life people, of course they will see it - but on my blog, or my public insta, or my blog’s Facebook page.
Rachel, may I be so bold as to remind you that you don’t need to think of yourself as an artist to make art? Do the art, for no other reason than you want to 🙂
Ok I am so out of the loop! I thought 100 Days hadn’t started yet and I was lazily dreaming of doing 100 days of portraits. Well maybe I will do it anyway (for the process and practice). I miss the days of blogging when people actually commented on posts and there were conversations held in the comments! I’ve started posting on my Substack about my journey into the world of teaching STEAM at a private school. I only know people read it because of the stats (oh how I love the stats!) but how fun that people IRL read your posts! I understand the self-consciousness though. I think I would feel that way too.
You could totally start now! It’s a great project for focused practice. And I totally hear you on missing the old blogging days :( I get the occasional comment here, and they are even rarer on my main blog, but I’m always so excited when they do come through. It feels a bit like screaming into the void sometimes doesn’t it?

<3 a very helpful reminder!
