Widget Storm

Warning. Obsessive tendency alert.  A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about some updates and posts I’ve been thinking about for eyeJunkie — sweeping out the ol’ cobweb.  I’m toying around with a few changes and additions to my sidebars, wanting to update some widgets, add photo galleries and generally reorganize.  And, I’m unsettled.  Yes, my irrational, this-is-my-site-and-therefore-a-picture-of-me-as-a-person mentality and my obsessive all-must-follow-the-clever-concept creative process have joined forces with my little compulsive, cluttered-space-breeds-a-cluttered-mind and there-are-too-many-letters-flying-around streak.  Uh-oh.  The result is total brain chaos and the ensuing indecision.  It’s no big deal, really.  I’m used to it.  I do it every time I have a design (or otherwise creative) problem to resolve.  It’s just part of my process–the insomniac phase where I can’t rest until I get at least a couple of fingers around which direction I want to head.  Then, I’m a creativity flowing fool.

I apologize in advance for making you a part of the process, but sometimes a sheet of paper with words and lists and doodles all over it just needs a different venue.  So, here’s my widget ‘storm–a partial brainstormed list of words and phrases related to my sight and vision concept.  I’m thinking at least some of these will find their way into my sidebar revamps, et al.
