Ch ch changes

When I started this blog 5 years ago, it was the plan to keep it for the three years that my studies would take. As those who have followed my journey know, things have not quite panned out the way I expected them to.
The last 5 years have both been more awful and more awesome than I could have imagined: while my studies were more often than not a huge stressful disappointment and my health issues (culminating in my stroke) were awful, I did get to go to Berkeley, work on my sketchbook projects, do screenprinting, photography and creative writing classes, was admitted to a creative writing MA and for 3 of those years had the luck to have a cat as awesome as Clark living with me.
It had always been the plan to move on to somewhere else after I was done with my studies.
Despite me not having graduated yet, I will indeed be moving on. There are only so many hours in a day/week/month and there are still so many things that I want to do. On top of that, I think this blog has served its purpose. I want to retire it in style, instead of letting it fizzle out.
Fear not, I’m not going to erase anything, this blog will be here for as long as wordpress.com leaves it up. And yes, I will make sure to back it up of course.
My new place will be LPinprogress, a more static portfolio style site where I’ll collect information about my zines, sketchbook projects and other creative activities past and present.
My Instagram, Tumblr and Pinterest will continue to exist in (more or less) their current form, as will my LogPoes email account, zine mailing list, wemakezines profile and my Etsy shop.
Speaking about zines: I have finished the writing for The Wreckage. File under: things nobody expected to happen, ever. I will be writing The Berk next week. If all goes according to plan, they will both be published sometime in September. Yes, 2016. When they are done, I will resume working on the three sketchbook projects, finish them and send them off to Brooklyn.
Thank you, dear reader, for coming along with me on this bumpy ride. For cheering me on and supporting me when times were rough, for being happy for me when things were awesome, and for respectfully and thoughtfully sharing your thoughts, opinions and feelings with me.
Love,
LP
Your friend LP 
Retiring in style after 5 years. I think that’s a good idea, with emphasis on the words “in style”. Thanks for all the posts. I’m looking forward to LPinprogress. Good luck.
Yes, I am very happy to have been able to finish this project on my own terms. And thank you! 🙂
I’m glad to hear that you will still be blogging elsewhere. 🙂
LPinprogress will be updated way less frequently (as in: definitely not on a weekly basis), but I will not disappear from the internets completely. 🙂
That’s okay! We do what we must. 😊 I look forward to reading your thoughts whenever you care to share them.
It was a nice ride and it is better to start and end projects in style in stead of having it withering away until a indefinite hiatus. Good luck with your next project, we will see each other there again.
True! Thank you for your sweet comment! 🙂
