dil·et·tante/ˌdiliˈtänt/
| Noun: |
|
I dabble.
I dabble without commitment or knowledge. This to me is not a bad thing. After all, how am I to discover my passion if I do not dabble first? How am I to learn something if I do not not know it first?
I find many things along the way. I see no reason to commit myself to any one of them.
So when I happened upon a site called superdilettante, and saw that she created zines, well, enough said. My two zines arrived last week. They are pretty damn amazing.

PS Maybe one day I will find that ONE thing. Who knows?
In the meantime: Dilettantes, unite!

I am SO right there with you! I fail to take anything seriously and I NEVER call myself "artist" That way I don't have to justify what I do- I call it dinking around, playing, attempting- that sort of thing.
Thanks for the comment re: Erik's feminazi experience- he is so fed up with it he wants to send them all back into the kitchen to make him a pie or knit him a sweater- just brings out the devil...There are REAL issues all over the world for women and this cry baby stupid demanding behaviour misses the point so entirely! Which is a prime example of why women should NOT run the world- there'll be no bunny hugging!
Loving the Zines! would like to devour them.
Also your previous post- EXCELLENT- I am so envious!
Staying with just one thing, even if you enjoy it, would be like trying vanilla ice cream and, since you found it good, to never try another flavor. Like Linda Sue says, dinking, playing, attempting if that makes a dilettante so be it. Self proclaimed artists are so full of themselves, anyway. Your zines are superb.
Me too! Linda Sue and Leenie have said it all better than I can and I agree with all of you! The zines look great.

L'usband knows La Blogeuse is not a dilly aunty!
