Write Another Book

02.19.2008

I’ve been thinking . . . that it’s about time to write another book. Since October, I’ve been extremely busy with my coursework for my Graphic Design Bachelor’s degree but I’ve done a bit of soul searching lately and come up the same thing I always conclude – I’m a writer.

Sure, I absolutely love graphic design. I’ve been doing it for over 17 years now and I’ll never tire of it. But my heart is in writing. Always has been. And I find that I am most fluid in the rest of my life when I’m busy writing. Something. Anything. Just writing.

I’m not sure if I’ll continue my degree or not at this point although I’m really leaning towards not right now. I still need to discuss this with my husband and see what he thinks. But my heart just isn’t in any more education. At least, not for design. I only decided to go back to school and get a Bachelor’s to brush up on the newer design programs and such anyway. Since October, I’ve learned a lot and it might be enough for me to be satisfied with the level of knowledge I have as a designer.

I’ll continue to be a part of the design world, continue to freelance as a designer but what I *really* want to spend my time doing is writing.

So . . . another book. Not sure exactly what yet but I feel there’s something brewing. ;-) I have a list of ideas I’ve been creating for a while now, just waiting for the right mindset to get going on. Maybe it’ll be one of them. Or maybe something else altogether.

I’ll continue to explore this here if you want to follow along. ;-)

More soon!

Overcome Writer’s Block

02.3.2008

Back in November 2007, I wrote a series of blog posts on how to overcome writer’s block that I turned into an 11 page report. You can download it for free at Annie Anderson Blog as my special gift for stopping by Margin of Error today.

I haven’t been around much here lately between life, family, school and other stuff but I’m planning a new series of posts very soon. Stay tuned!

If you have any thoughts on what you’d like to see here or suggestions for topics, post a quick note in the comments.
