plurk's quieter for me now that i deleted a lot of people on my friends list

well i only have like 8 friends and it seems dead to me

and guess what? tara accepted my blog post! wahoo!

awesome!! when does it go up, did she say?

she said next week, and if she didn't give me a date by monday to remind her

woooohooooo!

i know, i almost can't believe it!

i'm so happy for you! i haven't had the nerve to submit a guest post anywhere

well, handmade spark but that turned out to be a not so good thing

yeah, well it was a huge step for me since she was pretty hard on my last assignment for the class

but i just tried to replicate the other post she really liked of mine

when i try to be educational she doesn't really go for it, but when i just act like myself and stay light hearted, funny and sweet

she likes it

i am soooo happy

i'm thrilled for you, seriously. scoutie girl is a HUGE blog with a big big following

exposure is goooood

i know, when i told my husband he just didn't get it.

so happy i have you to celebrate with

well it's hard to explain it to someone who isn't in online the handmade world. my family never gets things like this either

right? so how is the e-course coming?

it's coming along slowly. i've been writing whatever comes into my head, then going back through and refining it

like with the first lesson, which is about the color wheel and how colors are made, i took out a whole bunch of stuff regarding mixing

colors because that's not exactly what i want to share

and i'm also going back through and creating graphics for things and adding in practical applications

well that is good... i am sure it is going to take a while

and lots of editing

i was hoping to start it mid-july, but i think it'll have to be end of july at the earliest

i'm spending so much time on this first lesson - it feels like i won't ever be done

yeah, i think stuff like that always takes forever

i am sure it feels like that

but you will get it done

i know it feels like it has taken forever for my mixed media class

i wanted to be done at the end of may

how far along are you now?

i am just going through all of the little details now... i think i am ready

i have my example done and i am just running through everything

that's exciting!

okay let me ask you - how long is too long for a blog post?

hmmm? i don't know, depends on how engaging it is

tara always writes long blog posts

i think you just have to go with your gut... if it is getting too long, you can always split it in half

give your audience to return to read the rest

sorry, but i am falling asleep

but i will talk to you in the morning, or should i say afternoon for you

night!
