Hi Strangers! I’m Mindi, CEO of Simply Strange Studios and leader of this motley band of cats. So, this is my first blog post and I’ll be honest, I don’t have a clue what to write about. It’s currently almost 1am and I am at work at my other job. I work as a receptionist at a retirement facility. It is the absolute best job ever! They let me work on my duties as Simply Strange Studio’s boss – as long as I finish whatever they need me to do.
And I’ve been pretty antsy today, there is so much to do with the game. Yet, all I want to do is run through the woods and splash in the lake to my heart’s content. I love feeling the sun on my face and the cool kiss of the breeze. Just the thought of it makes me want to wander until I find a nice shady spot in the grass so I can watch the clouds until I fall asleep.
About the past and the future
Funny enough, I actually followed my heart today: I walked a good four miles and enjoyed every minute of it. The short-term goal is to reach 5 miles daily, but eventually I want to get back to the point where I can backpack around the world. See, when I was in the military, I blew out my back and ever since it’s been getting harder for me to walk and get around. Oh well, c’est la vie, but I think that’s the best part of me being an artist. Short of becoming completely paralyzed, I will never have to stop creating unless I want to. That doesn’t mean that my situation is not frustrating…just more bearable than if I didn’t have the passion and interest that I do.
What does “creating” mean to you?
To me being able to create is akin to being able to fly, I can go anywhere, do anything, be anything. I get to live more lives and see more places than one can imagine and I get to share all of my adventures with you guys.
Every creation is an artform.
This is probably why I’m such an avid reader. The more adventures and mischief I can get into the better. Currently , I have been listening to Kristen Painters “Suck It Up, Buttercup: A Paranormal Women’s Fiction Novel (First Fangs Club, Book 2)” and Robin Merrills “Gertrude, Gumshoe Cozy Mystery Box Set: Books 1–6” . Since I can’t sit and read books all day – I’d never finish any projects – I tend to listen to a lot of audible. Lmao I actually go through withdrawal symptoms if I go more than two days without listening or reading a book. I love indulging myself in art. And writing is an artform in itself. Right now, I’m listening to Kristen Painter’s First Fangs Club Book Series. I’ll give you a review once I finished them. But that’s it for today.
I hope you enjoyed reading and will be here next time for our upcoming blog post!
