Do You Blog Before Breakfast?
http://mitchell-taylor.blogspot.com
Making Time For Art In My Life I imagined that when I retired there'd be ample time to follow my love of painting. The problem is that, without the discipline of a fixed work schedule at an office somewhere away from home, it's too easy to allow the messy details of life to take over.
That's why I call this BLOG "Do You Blog Before Breakfast?" My goal is to allow myself some time each morning before breakfast to plan a painting for the day, to commit to it in my BLOG and, hopefully, to create something of merit on a regular basis.
Stay tuned to see if life as a Daily Painter and Blogger will help me be more productive.
