Update
Quick update on the future of this blog.
Read MoreGenerative AI and what it means for us, creatives
I do not think that the machines will take over the world. I truly don’t. Not because it is implausible and too fantastic - I think we can all agree that five or ten years ago, the idea of using AI in, say, college work, or the need for a regulation or protection against AI, wouldn’t have even crossed our minds back then.
Read MoreThe slump of all slumps
We can all agree, collectively as the humankind, that 2020 did not turn out as expected. The pandemic is still raging. People are suffering. Being overcome with negative emotions is natural in this case. Many of us feel sluggish and unmotivated, giving up on hobbies and fun things as we are still constricted in movement, travel and socialization.
Read MoreA New Year, A New Beginning - Right?
Like many of us, at the end of each year, I scramble, trying to finish and wrap up what seems to be like a million things. I need to make lists of things to do before the end and of things to do in a new year. I need to summarize my year and think of the best and worst books I read, movies I watched, places I went, etc.
It is all about making lists and running around, constantly overcome by the feeling of the time speeding up to the light speed.
Read MoreBLOGMAS 2017 ANNOUNCEMENT
While filming NaNoWriMo vlogs (and failing at it), I had an idea to do Vlogmas. But then I realized that I simply had no time to accomplish something like that. While googling vlogmas ideas, I came across the term blogmas. Which essentially means the same thing but posting on a text blog, not YouTube channel.
Bingo!
Writing and scheduling blogs ahead is way easier and more doable with my fulltime job than vlogging every single day. Plus, this will give me an opportunity to catch up with some of my long overdue reviews and do wrap-ups for this year and recommendations.
I have already written down approximately 25 topic ideas. My Blogmas will be mostly book related, but I will also do some theatre and stationery posts.
I am excited, are you? Anyone else doing it?

New Year Resolutions
I'm quite aware it is February ;) I wrote those down a month ago, but never got to share them.
- read 70 books*
- listen to 10 audiobooks
- see 10 theatre plays
- watch 50 movies
- start art journal again
- write more
- blog regularly (once a day)
- take more photos and share them
- consistently write book reviews
- write plays/events reviews
- take care of my health
- start going to the gym again
- travel to new places
- meet new people
- smile every day
*I set my goal at GoodReads for 70 books as well, but it is not the same. On GoodReads I keep track of both books and audiobooks, but in my journal I keep them separate. Which means that I will hit my GoodReads goal before my personal one.
I must say that my book reading challenge is going quite nicely AND I have already listened to 10 audiobooks, so that is quite encouraging :D
I also started a new art journal. I hope to keep doing that throughout the year.
I still suck at writing and posting reviews right after the events/plays/reading books. But I am working on it!
