It is weird to think of writing in 2024… books and blogs are becoming obsolete in the age of social media blurbs and TikTok shorts. However, I believe that the written word could (and should) have power still, and writing is one of my passions in life. I guess I am a Renaissance woman of sorts— writer, painter, musician, and legal assistant— except art doesn’t pay the bills like it did in the age of the greats, so I slave away to create various income streams by which I can enjoy creative freedom and (hopefully) some financial freedom as well, though that is hard to come by.
In this blog I will write various things. I cannot specify which things, seeing as I don’t know which content is preferable, but there will be substantive things, or at the very least, a notification that I am alive and well. I can’t guarantee that you will read or care, but it is important to me to put myself out there nonetheless and create art for the sake of creating it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I behold.
If you are reading this now, (you are), I have posted loads of poetry and short prose pieces on this page for your to enjoy. I also have a page dedicated to my art, which you can buy, or at least come over to my home studio and view. For reference, “home studio” is just code for “I paint on my bedroom floor right now”. So the struggle lives on.
Welcome, this website is your home, too. Light a cigarette, laugh along, and tell your friends.
Sincerely,
Baylie
