For some reason, I thought that textrix.wordpress.com had been taken already. Well, colour me tickled (that’s about as close to pink as I’ll ever be) that tonight I found it available for me to snatch up. I’ve started twittering for real this week, and it’s inspiring me to really jump in with the blogging. Besides just posting my pictures and some minor blogging at textrix.blogspot.com. [marketing 101 note - see the link to my flickr set for images of my drawings and textiles] And, well, this has led to all kinds of fears and apprehensions about this whole internet thing.
One way twittering is kinda creepy… it has such a voyeuristic quality to it. As well as an “outside-looking-in” quality, being a newbie. I don’t know anyone yet on twitter. My tweets are flying out there into the ether, not directed at anyone. So, how excited was I when one of the 12 people that I am following actually responded by following me back! And how fab was it that it was Penelope Trunk, the very one who inspired me to get back on the Twitter horse… (I flirted with it briefly sometime in the last year, but it didn’t stick.) This is better, a bit of a two way street. Not so much feeling like the quiet high school girl listening to everyone talk, but not getting a peep in edgewise.
I tell myself that it takes time to develop relationships online, even “online relationships,” which, as the word out there reminds us, are not always all that personal. As with the “real world,” it takes an effort to get out there. The blogging/twittering/internetland is not a place to hide from the “me” stuff I deal with in the real world. It’s a place to deal with it and talk about it, and hopefully, it’s a slightly less scary venue to get “ME” all out there.

Here’s a few continuous line drawings I did tonight, after the one in the previous post. I was feeling rather rusty, since it’s been so long since my last post (and no drawing in the meantime either!).
