Comment on Name for Network? by mand

Well, later yesterday i thought of InterArt – ‘Inter’ as in:

1. internet
2. interaction between the artists
3. we’re all ‘into art’ (being a southern Brit i don’t pronounce the ‘r’) lol

… but it seemed neither pretty nor exciting, and i felt it should be one or the other if not both. Though this morning it sounds a little better; maybe that’s my mood?

Oh I like your thinking! Well I don’t suppose there are many names that haven’t been taken by someone somewhere! Thanks for this.

‘Chronic Artists Network’ would give the acronym CAN – as in ‘Yes, we can!’ – i’m not sure it sounds nice on its own, though. I tried putting in variations on ‘Chronic Creative’, ‘Creative Balance’ etc and they’re all either taken by financial institutions(!) or too ubiquitous. Will keep thinking…

Oh no. Sounds like a bug doesn’t it? Sooner I can sort out a new way of doing this the better!

Rachel, i’ve just tried to sign up but am getting the message ‘Confrom email address does not match’ even though i am definitely typing my e address correctly both times. If this is a bug it will be putting people off from joining…

Hello Mand. You’re very welcome here. I think a lot of artists, writers, musicians who have to navigate chronic illness or pain aren’t perhaps producing as much, as quickly or regularly, or quite the level of work they aspire to. Some struggle to do any. That doesn’t stop you being an artist or a writer or a musician.

Thanks for the kind words.

I’ll add you to the list here on the blog. If you want to try and sign up on the blog ring please do – this will give me your contact details and add you to the blog ring list proper. There is a link on the about page

Thanks Adam. This is part of the reason I’d like to change where this all takes place so has the chance to be more of a network and not just a list.

The other day i ‘tidied’ my feedreader and found Chronic Artists, sitting there with no recent posts; i considered unsubbing but saw no point, and decided to keep hoping you’d be back. I only found this blog in time to read a couple of posts but i really like it.

On my ‘real’ blog i don’t talk about events in my real life, but my ’sub’ blog, the Travel Hopefully Slog, is about the progress of my writing and inevitably the daily fluctuations in fatigue and pain come into that.

I haven’t much of a ‘product’ to show the world, YET… i’m not really familiar with the blog ring ‘thing, but would mine be appropriate to this?

I really don’t feel you need to apologise for any hiatus, as after all your readership here must be more understanding of the reasons than in possibly any other context! 80)

Hi Rachael

I know you are busy, so thanks so much for putting effort into this! I have been guilty of not coming near the blog ring ‘cos I was not sure what it involved or how to use it but, as always, the best way is to dive in and find out!

So I am doing a bit of an edit of my profile and will go from there to explore.

Thanks again for your work
Adam
