Why This Blog? A New Adventure in My Artistic Journey

Hey there, fellow creatives! I'm excited to share that this blog is taking a new, exciting turn. For those who've been following along, you might have noticed a handful of posts here and there about various art topics. But now, it's time for a fresh start. I'm shifting gears to focus more on my personal art journey, sharing tips and tricks I've picked up along the way, and giving you a peek into what life looks like for me as an undiagnosed, almost-40-year-old ADHD creative. Buckle up, because it’s going to be a fun ride!

Why Write This Blog?

So, why am I diving into this new direction? The answer is simple: I want to connect with others who share the same passion for art and creativity, and who might also be navigating the unique challenges that come with having an ADHD brain. Here are a few reasons why this blog is so important to me:

1. **Sharing My Journey**: My artistic journey has been anything but linear. From drawing and painting to clay sculpting and photography, I’ve explored countless mediums. I want to share the ups, downs, and all the creative detours along the way.

2. **Helping Fellow Creatives**: Over the years, I've picked up a lot of tips and tricks that I wish I had known when I started. By sharing these insights, I hope to make your creative journey a bit smoother and a lot more fun.

3. **Embracing the Chaos**: Being an undiagnosed ADHD creative in my late 30s has been a wild ride. This blog will be a space where I can openly discuss the challenges and joys of creating art with an ADHD brain, and hopefully, connect with others who feel the same way.

What’s New?

Here’s how this blog is going to look different from now on:

1. **Personal Stories**: I’ll be sharing more personal anecdotes and experiences from my own art journey. Expect candid tales of triumphs, failures, and everything in between.

2. **Practical Tips and Tricks**: From organizing your art supplies (despite ADHD chaos) to finding inspiration on the toughest days, I’ll be offering practical advice to help you on your own creative path.

3. **Life as an ADHD Creative**: I’ll dive into what it’s like navigating life and art with ADHD, sharing strategies that help me stay focused (most of the time) and productive (sometimes).

4. **Interactive Content**: I want this blog to be a two-way street. I'll be asking for your input, sharing reader submissions, and creating a community where we can all learn and grow together.

Join Me on This Adventure

Whether you're an artist with ADHD, someone who loves dabbling in different mediums, or just curious about the creative process, I hope you'll join me on this new adventure. Let’s embrace the chaos, celebrate the creativity, and most importantly, have a ton of fun along the way.

Stay tuned for more stories, tips, and a whole lot of art-filled inspiration. Here’s to the next chapter in our creative journey—together!

Happy creating!
