Except that it kind of is. Maybe? I dunno. At least, that’s the way I’m treating it. And I wanted to start clean and fresh like someone who cares as much about her creative career as her corporate one.

First, I cleaned out the archives. Do you know I’ve been here since 2009 and only posted 73 times? Wild! Anyway, while doing this cleaning, I noticed some patterns. I have quite the history of:

• Disappearing
• Announcing projects that then fizzle
• Blogging to blog (I don’t think anyone cares about marshmallow peep s’mores, but the post is still here just in case.)

These patterns emerged because I’d been operating with no goal and no focus. What the hell is this site? Well, this site is a place where I’ll talk about my creative life. So, I addressed the archives with that in mind. As a result, very little content older than 2015 survived the purge and much of what did is set to private. Internal only, as we say in my corporate life.

So, what can you see?

New header image

I’ve never studied art history, but I did have fun looking for (public domain) images of classic art showing women writing to make this composite image.

New profile picture

Big shout out to my husband for his patience in helping me get the perfect “woman writing” profile picture to go with my new header image.

And speaking of images…

I finally fixed the alt text on public posts so that they’re ADA and WCAG compliant. I want my site to be accessible to all.

And one last reminder: I will NEVER use AI to create content. Content will always be created by me (or another human who will also not use AI to “create”).
