I'm spreading myself too thin

So I've been working on my fiction and my photography lately.  I don't know why the two go hand in hand, but they seem to.  When I'm creative at one, it bumps my creativity in the other.  But that means that I've been neglecting a few other blogs.  So, what I'm going to try for a little while is blending the blogs together.  Hopefully you'll like it.  But if you don't, let me know, and I may change it back. 

I'm going to be transitioning to this blog from my WordPress hosted Making Our Dream Life Happen blog.  There's a lot of posts there, so it'll be up for quite a while longer, but the majority of new posts will be made here.

Since part of my dream life includes earning money from my photography and my non-fiction writing, I will be combining those blogs here.  Fiction will continue to have it's own site.  I will (as always) label my posts, so you'll be able to search my photography by clicking on the label photography.  If you're only interested in homeschooling, then click that tab.  And so on and so on.  I hope it makes it easier to find something specific, while allowing me to have a single place to post all of these things. 

SoFoBoMo... what?!?

Today I found SoFoBoMo.  It's a relation to NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month), which I participated in and won this year.  But I just found SoFoBoMo today.  It's Solo Photo Book Month, has a history of hazy dates, or two months in which to take the 31 day challenge.  I'm going to participate this coming year (2011), and if you're interested in photography, I hope you do, too.  I've also been asked to be considered as the lead Social Network Volunteer, because I <3 social networking.  :)  I'm waiting to hear back on that, and will let you know if that winds up being something I do.

This is intended mostly be a collection of my photography, and critiques of it, if I am lucky enough to get feedback.  I also plan to post contests that I find, a blogroll of other photographers that I think you should visit, reviews of photography books that I read, tips and tricks that I learn (and where I learned them from), and pretty much whatever else comes to mind.  This is really just a spot for my photography, to watch how I grow as a photographer, and to hopefully help other budding photographers.

New event photography website

I've been focused on my writing lately, but I also wanted to set up a site for my photography.  I have a site where you can order prints, http://eventsbykim.photoreflect.com, but I'm still in the setting it up stage.  The name may change, once I find what's right for me.  But in the meantime, you can purchase larger prints there, for framing.

If you do, let me know!  Better yet, send me a photo of your print displayed!!

What we've been up to

So I've got a new post about what we've been up to at the "real" Making Our Dream Life Happen blog.  Just a reminder that all you have to do is click the post title and it'll take you to the blog post, or you can click the link above.

But I've also been seriously considering moving it on over here to Blogger, too.  So hopefully soon, I'll have more and more on this blog.  I'll keep the one over at WP for my old posts, so if you find one you want to read, you'll click on the link title and be headed there again.  But I may start putting my new posts on here.  I'll make a decision in the next couple of weeks, and let you guys know. 

In the meantime, please feel free to head on over to Making Our Dream Life Happen, and check out what we've been up to!

Sunset through the trees

We were at the lake, and the sunset through the trees caught me.  I love the way that it just lit up the treeline across the lake.
