The Collective Eye - June 2021 - Realweegiemidget Reviews

  The Collective Eye is on...  WHAT SHOULD THE WORLD KNOW ABOUT YOU?   I'm a wee Scottish expat living in Finland with my Darlin Husband. We've been together for over 12 years and he's my best friend, and sometimes editor of my blog posts. I write an entertainment blog on all things entertainment which includes films and TV and remembrance posts to blogathons. I love this entertainment niche as I've met lots of lovely people so far be they fellow bloggers or those who work in the entertainment field.  I do try actively to tag those acting talents I write about in my entertainment reviews. I like to think of it as my wee thank you to their performance in the film or TV Show I'm writing about. So I usually get superexcited if an actress or actor retweets, likes a post or follows me.  HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR BLOG?  My blog kind of evolved in both posts and pages and I was lucky to find a theme that showcased these both perfectly. I usually write about...

The Collective Eye - May 2021 - Blue Sun Chasing

  The Collective Eye is on...  WHAT SHOULD THE WORLD KNOW ABOUT YOU?   First and foremost, that this music is for me. I created it because I’ve always wanted to make music and because I have things inside me that I feel I need to release into the world. I am someone who consistently asks the same question: What’s this (*waves arms*) all about? Is it about anything at all? I don’t have an answer, but the music is an exploration of the question.  Some of the feedback I’ve received on this body of work is that it’s dark. But it simply has to be that way. I’ll talk more about that in a minute, but what I want people to know is that while it’s true that the music may feel or sound bleak, there’s always an element of hope weaving through it for me. There’s always hope because that’s what keeps us moving forward. How could we keep going without hope?  Much of what I do comes from places in me I can’t identify or describe, and I don’t set out to create a narrative:...

The Collective Eye - March 2021 - Until The Lights Go Up

Image
  The Collective Eye is on...  WHAT SHOULD THE WORLD KNOW ABOUT YOU?    In a previous professional existence, I was an accountant and an auditor. I became Mr. Mom for a while, then moved into a position writing descriptions of stamp collections. Thanks to the Pandemic, I am once again a house husband, splitting time with Twitter and writing children’s fiction adventures with talking dinosaurs. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR BLOG?  My blog is a mixture of articles about film and music, some genealogy, photo essays, attempts at humor, dinosaurs, and anything that I enjoy thinking about. My brain tends to be all over the place and this blog is an outlet for it. WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO CREATE  UNTIL THE LIGHTS GO UP?  I have been part of a friend’s blog (BloodyWhisper) which deals with horror, regardless of the medium. It was my first chance to be “published”. I’ve done reviews, articles, and some short fiction. Until the Lights Go Up is a place for other things...

For example, i've a learning disability but I don't let it define me or bring me down. HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR BOOKS & ART?  I want the world to be a happier place. I am a very creative person & I want people to smile when they see my art & when they read my books. WHO/WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO BEGIN WRITING & CREATING ART?   The art, clearly visiting museums when I was younger.     Being taken to art museums in my youth has impacted me enormously. As for my writing.
