I know it's been a while since I posted here and and I'm sure many of you are wondering where I am. I'm sorry if I have not gotten back to any of your messages. Things have been busy around here and I've had to take a step back from the dolls for a bit. I even deactivated my Instagram account for now because sometimes it can just be too distracting, uninspiring, and downright depressing. I don't want to go too deep into that but I just need to distance myself for the time being. I also deleted my Flickr but that's because I just never used it anymore and since they now want to charge you to store more than 1,000 pictures there I just decided to drop Flickr. While I'm out, I'm trying to work on organizing and cleaning out my space and it's taking me a while, a very long while. I started about a month ago and have barely scratched the surface. I cannot believe how much junk I have accumulated in the past ten years of collecting, yikes!
I set my blog to private for a while because I was upset that Adsense was demonetizing some of my posts because of what they thought was "adult content". So I have decided to remove the ads to avoid any further issues. I thought about altering some of my episodes but decided against it for now. Also I have set my account to "adult only" because I just don't want anymore issues with Google. So if you get a page that says "Are you sure you want to proceed?" then that is because I have now set it to adult content. I hate feeling forced to do it but I feel it may be best for now until I can edit the blog posts or something. So for now whatever little change was trickling in for Adsense has stopped. I would make my page private but I am only allowed up to a 100 readers if I do that and that wouldn't be fair. All in all at this very moment I am very frustrated with blogger, I wish I had another option, another platform but there isn't much out there that is any different.
I'm not exactly sure when I will be back up and running on this site. The kids have exactly 10 weeks left of school then maybe, just maybe I can breathe and find some time, lol! Then I can hopefully be productive. It's very hard to write and get into a creative mode when I have had so much mental noise going on lately. So as the hectic school year dies down and things hopefully slow down I can focus. It seems like so many things hit me all at once these past couple months that it just threw me off my game and just completely sucked the inspiration out of me. So there will be some changes going on around here with my blog, just bare with me as I get through them and hopefully get past these road blocks. Y'all know I don't write these stories for fame or fortune, I do this for the pure creative process, for my constant need to create with my hands, to tell a story that I feel needs to be told. For me this is my artwork to share with the world that I put my heart and soul into every time I work on it. So when my hard work is scrutinized, plagiarized, and scoffed at it has made me want to just give up completely. I am hoping this break will do me some good and that I will find inspiration and drive again to keep on going but like I said it has been really hard lately. This mental roadblock has been very hard to overcome. So for now I just need to take a step back, refocus, and find my creative spark again or wait for it to find me....
God Bless and take care and I hope to be back soon! Missing
this little family they are patiently waiting for me, lol!
