Rethinking The Purpose of This Blog


Hello friends,

I love this blog. It's been something I've been working on for about 3 or 4 years now. There's a lot of old posts that are no longer available on here, but just know this blog has been running for quite a while now. Over the years, I've tried to fit into that mold of bloggers that I see out there doing well in hopes of my blog some day getting to their level. But, anyone that knows anything, knows that's not how you get yourself to the top. You can't just follow someone else's path or formula and expect to get anything in return. I've been doing a good bit of thinking about what makes me happy when it comes to this little corner of the internet and what works for me. And, I've noticed thru stats and data recently that you guys don't really care about those cookie-cutter fluffy curated posts. The posts that seem to be getting the most views, the most attention and feedback are the posts about what I'm doing with my art....which is the stuff that I just love posting.

Ever since I started writing those curated fluff posts it has felt more like work than something I really enjoy. I've gone back and forth with this idea for a good while now. Why do I keep going back to those posts? Why do I feel like they're going to do well, even when the data shows me that they're not? You guys don't want to see them, I don't want to write them. Why the heck am I pushing them?!?! The world may never know....

But, I'm starting to realize that both of us, you and I, just want to talk about art and stuffs. So, that's what this blog is going to focus on from now on. Enough of those crap fluff posts that just take up space and take up my time. I'm done with them. OOOOooooooVer it! So I just wanted to pop in and let you guys know what's on my mind and the direction I want to take this blog.

Loooooooove you all! Thank you for being even remotely interested in what I'm doing and taking the time to read these long-winded posts about my own psychosis LOL!!!

xoxo. holly erinn
