In Which She Offers More Candy and Steadfastly Refuses To Whine

So this is beautiful and interesting, and most of what I have been thinking these days is not. Not yet.

I write to share my optimism and embrace my negative capacity, not to slide into whiny rants about why or how much something sucks. It's one of the few rules I sit down to blog with, and I honestly believe that this blog is still a worthwhile enterprise after almost four years because my posts may be salty or finger-wagging, but never, ever whiny.

Whining is boring, and dear friends I am at a deeply whiny junction in my creative life. I know for a fact that The Whiny Days are necessary fertilizer for the strongest possible reconsiderations and the best, and most considered future efforts.

I know that this blog, while it may change its name or its format,

(right now I consider its goal to be The Longest Artist's Statement Ever Written, and I don't know how sustainable my interest in that is)

will surely continue.

But for now, just watch the fucking video.

Keep up the good work, Deborah. The TED video is great, and your blog hang wringing provokes nods (at least from me)...not that I'm some measurer, but I am a satisfied reader.

All the best.

Um...hand wringing.

It's so nice to have you do all of the research for us. It makes our decision making so much easier!! Thanks.
