Blog Re-Inspired

I was able to get away from my city for a couple of days and I am resting on the sands of Litchfield Beach, SC. As usual, I almost instantly miss city life when I arrive at a place of less "movement".  All this free time has given me more than a few moments to ponder the things I love and things that need improvement in my life. Somehow vacation always does this to me. I don't think it's bad at all. It gives me time to self-analyze (which I do all the time anyways) minus the stress and distraction of work and weekly detailed to-dos.

I am constantly receive confirmation that I am an artist and I am in the right field as soon as I step an inch away from it (and a little nudge from God). I almost never want a break from it unless I've super-indulged myself in a constant creative workflow. So as I sit in a lovely oceanfront hotel room, I think to myself, has my blog reached it's full potential? The answer is No. I want so much more for it. I've just begun to crack the door for people to peek into my life. There is so much more to be said and posted! 

The problem is time and deciding where to place my energy. Most of it is going towards creating my website and building my portfolio for my website. The other issue is that it is difficult for me to vocally showcase myself in the social media world. I would love to share my experiences and growth with the Lord with whoever chooses to read my blog. I have a passion for blogging and I think I want to roll that direction at some point. So what would I direction would I delve into on Half Hipster? Several areas:

- Patterns (wallpaper, textile design, patterns in home interiors and furniture, posts on pattern makers)

- Write-ups on artists of all kinds (mainly ones I am inspired by)

- Introductions to bloggers who are just creatively awesome

- More posts on music and the up-and-comings in that genre

- "What I'm Eating" posts (including more illustrations on top of personal photographs)

- How to be "More American" posts (my growing love for Americana style + 4th of July)

- More posts of film, scanning and Photoshop (not sure why I saved this addition for last because it is my #1 priority and how I make an income...probably because it's the only thing I'm including on this blog currently)
