This blog has a tremendous amount of potential. Unfortunately, to achieve it, a sizable contribution of time has to be made and we have simply not had it. I think we also need to fully familiarize ourselves with the lay of the land in Palm Beach County arts, and it is not easy, especially on a limited budget.
I still think this site, or one like it, could be a tremendous resource for artists from all disciplines, and the public at-large and I would like to see it develop. I just am not sure where to begin focusing first. However, expect further updates and observations as this entire thing continues to take form in our heads.

In order to be doing a really great lifestyle blog, it’s my opinion that one must be living said lifestyle. You can’t look at it like “there are too many things to do” or “I wish I could afford to go to more things” or even “I wish I knew about more things”.
Live your life, talk to your friends, write what you know, and the rest will happen organically. My blogs shift in and out of different states as I get busy with work, when theatre season begins/ends, when musicians start releasing new albums, etc. These things all have a cycle and a rhythm. Get on the rollercoaster, and bring you camera and your moleskine.

Another comment I can make is to seek out other bloggers – even if they are not in your subject area – reading daily posts often makes me jealous that I have not been writing more, and I find I almost always have something to say at least once per week. Sometimes I have a big social week, and I get all my thoughts out in real-life conversations, or in emails, or texts/twitters, and other times, as soon as I sit down I write 1,000 words.
