Happy New Year - with all endings come beginnings

I feel nervous writing what will be my final post for the foreseeable future. Out of the blue a month or so ago our two computers became infected with devastating viruses and I suddenly found myself with no internet other than quick e-mail updates here and there. Whilst the projects continued I was no longer documenting them via the blog or any other method for that matter. This lead me to consider my blogging, what it gives me and why I do it. I am learning that its in my nature to obsess about my creative projects and take them way too seriously and I have spent the past year putting myself out there, honestly and openly, inviting equally criticism and praise. One reason not having a computer has been a revelation is I no longer have to worry about the third person dynamic, ie - my project, myself and  - everyone else. My New Years resolution is to take a step back from the crazy creative production line and put more meaning and thought into my work. At the moment I wish to suspend the blog for the same reason I don't use social networking sites, my own personal inappropriate use including taking everything too personally and a growing obsession with other peoples opinions and views. I would like to thank my loyal followers from the bottom of my heart, many who have inspired and entertained me with their own blogs and opinions. Living in quite a solitary head space its been fantastic to receive feedback and encouragement and it defiantly makes me a better person, its just the demons I struggle to keep in check and I figure if I don't give them any ammunition I take away their ability to play games within my head. I hope you all have a positive start to 2012 and I hope to speak with you again sometime in the future, Kat xx
