As many of my readers may know, for the last three years I have been sporadically posting on several different blogs...: sketches on The Hyphenate; drawings on Maxine on the run; comics on Maxine's BD; house-related misadventures on No Ducks and Bunnies; vintage resale endeavors on No Ducks and Bunnies Vintage...
As you can imagine, it's been an exhausting process, driven by a quasi OCD-like need to have everything in my life separate, organized, and under control.
A few days ago, I was looking at comments people had posted on one of the blogs and I came across one someone wrote, that it seemed pretty complicated to have all these different blogs, etc. Reading this simple statement made me realize that, yes, it's been pretty complicated and, actually, even a drag at times.
I decided to merge all the blogs into a new one called The Competent Eclectic, since that's what I seem to be, a (competent) person with many (eclectic) interests, and to see how long I can stand having everything gathered under one banner...
So, dear readers, this is why you may from now on read about another cultural event in Portland, followed by complaints about failing to get organized for the next vintage sale...
Feel free to comment and give suggestions...
COMPETENT: Adjective; Having the necessary ability, knowledge, or skill to do something successfully.
ECLECTIC: Noun; A person who derives ideas, style, or taste from a broad and diverse range of sources.
HYPHENATE: –noun 1. A person with multiple duties or abilities 2. A person working or excelling in more than one craft or occupation 3. A person who has or performs more than one job or function
What is a true eclectic to do when her passions lead her in different directions?
This is a blog for the unfocused, the round pegs in the square holes, the short-attention span types, and all those who just can't bring themselves to join the ranks and adhere to a single category of activities or interests...whether sketches, drawings and comics, fixing an old farmhouse in Oregon, or whatever else strikes my fancy.
I think it's a good thing. I could not imagine the amount of work juggling all those different blogs. Good Luck!
