Dark Virtue

As summer approaches I think more about projects. Right now I have none, except buying various things and organizing my photography collection.

I have felt at a loss about my creative projects, because it seems like as soon as I call something a project, I don't do any more work on it. I haven't found more inspiration for The Summerhouse, my nonlinear fiction, and I have posted very reluctantly in Dark Virtue, my collection of darkly romantic images and text.

I have been reading Artful Blogging nearly every day. Having any specific blog would not suit me. Perhaps this is why I don't post in Dark Virtue.

There is another blog I have been writing more successfully, "A Fine and Private Place." This takes the title of a book by Peter S. Beagle. It combines with my idea that a fine and private place is necessarily sober, even dark, like a cemetery. Emphasis on "private." The access is controlled on my more confiding concepts and photos.

Studying with Dolls

In the afternoons, I usually take my laptop or a book to the bed and study, and a doll for company. Gertrude is sitting on my bed desk. I got her in 2015 from the Korean doll company Dollmore. She's a "Flocke" sculpt. Willow is sitting with my headphones. She's made by the Chinese company Angel of Dream. I got her in 2013. She's a "Qing" sculpt.
