I made a big decision ~ I have decided to cut and eliminate some of the things that I think I have to do to make more time for the things I want to do.
One of the things that is going to go is my studio ~ BdotDepictions. I haven’t been doing photography seriously for a least a year now, and paying to keep my studio site up and running when I haven’t sold a single piece of work doesn’t make much sense for me right now.
Especially when I am not really in a position to be able to do something about the lack of sales ~ i.e., marketing!
In keeping with that, I have decided to put Depict This! away too, so I am putting the blog on hiatus until further notice. This is mainly so I can focus on finishing the novel I am co-authoring with my sister. We are really close to finishing our second manuscript {we have finished the first one, but need both finished before we can look at publishing}, but I find that I just don’t have enough motivation to work on it.
Blogging takes all of my writing juice ~ I’m just dry by the time it comes to the novel and I hate that. I haven’t done any quality work on it for ages… Yes, I know our new arrival into the family has quite a lot to do with that, but I also know my limitations. If I want to see our books published, I need to shut shop on the blog temporarily.
Never fear ~ it’s only for a little while! I already have a ton of plans for my blogging come back!
It’s going to involve a complete rebrand ~ new blog, new blog name and everything…. But I can’t tell you any more.
I won’t take Depict This! down; I want to leave the old blog up for a while so that everyone came reference my old posts if they wish too. I just won’t be updating DT! even though I’ll still be around on Twitter, Instagram{@bjvear}, and Pinterest if you want to check out what I am up to in the mean time.
xox,
