Musings on Blogging and Other Miscellaneous Things

So, I had to add this little blurb now that my "shop blog" is up and running. With that done, supposedly I am going to have time to write. That compulsion of mine wants free reign. My muse is getting restless and so are my characters.

I love crocheting because it lets my brain wander while my fingers are occupied, and I am actually getting good enough with the craft that I can let my brain go off into other realms. It's the perfect complimentary hobby to writing. And if crochet can help me pay for a few more pencils, all the better.

I am already astounded by the number of views my shop got in the past few hours after going live. If I am lucky, a fraction of those are actual people and not search engines. If I am really lucky, I will get some orders.

Ah well. We will see what happens. It's out there, and I am the one in control. My muse, however, has other things to say about who's in control, so I better get going on my writing too. I have lots of work to do... *deer in headlights look* Oh boy...Lord,  please help me not get overwhelmed.

My Little Shop of Jellyfish


I am so excited...and nervous! Sisu Strings is live! Anyone need a little wonder? All the fun and details are over there. Hope to see you soon!

Evolution of my Blog

The blog you are looking at now sprouted a new blog that took over this blog's original name. This blog has become Sisu Things, and will be where I get on my soap box, or wax rhapsodic, or maybe borrow a few cyber shoulders to cry on. It will generally focus on my writing and struggles with that, but will have touches of insight and philosophy thrown in.

My new blog, which will eventually have its very own little tab at the top there, is my "Shop". I plan to showcase my crocheted creations and launch a campaign to get a few more pennies into my piggy bank. My new blog is now called Sisu Strings to tie (ahem) it all into my fiber craft hobby. Here's a sneak preview. Sisu Strings Sneak Peek

Note that the new blog is not up and running fully at this time. Thank you and I hope you will help me spread the word when I give the shout...or in this case, it will most likely be the tweet.
