So, here we are, almost two months after beginning this blog and I’ve already forgotten it.\u00a0 Way to go, me!<\/p>\n
Actually, that’s not quite what happened, but I guess it all comes down to the same thing: I haven’t updated my little corner of the web for a long time.\u00a0 I have had some ideas and actually wrote them out, but I never posted them.\u00a0 Instead, I let them sit while I thought it over.\u00a0 Now they’re in the recycle pile, ready to go out.\u00a0 I won’t publish them.\u00a0 Why not?\u00a0 Because they really weren’t the type of writing I want to represent me.\u00a0 They were written in a really snarky tone.\u00a0 That was bad enough, but then they were also profanity laden. That’s not really who I am.\u00a0 At times, yes, but not always.\u00a0 And while I will have some sarcastic comments here, I really don’t want to make entire posts that way.\u00a0 The more I thought about them, the less I liked them. I want everyone to be comfortable reading my words (or at least a good majority).\u00a0 The sarcasm and profanity are just not needed.<\/p>\n
So what about my second sentence up there?\u00a0 It’s one sentence, and it’s directed inward, and not at anyone else.\u00a0 I’m fine with that.\u00a0 So, after a lot of thought about those posts, out of my notebook they came and straight into the recycling bag they went.\u00a0 I write out everything with pencil and paper because that is part of the process for me.<\/p>\n
Anyway, besides those posts that are now gone, I have just a few more details to add to this site.<\/p>\n
I need a picture of myself and an “about me” section.\u00a0 Neither of those things should be difficult, but I hate cameras when I am the subject of the picture, and I hate trying to define who I am.\u00a0 So, I procrastinate.\u00a0 I have asked for help on the “about me” section, but my questions are usually answer with blank looks and generic answers of, “Well, you’re you,” or, “I got nothing.\u00a0 Sorry, I can’t help.”<\/p>\n
I have decided to put more energy and time into my writing now that the busy holiday time is over.\u00a0 I have a few ideas simmering for this blog, some research to do for a short story, and a lot of work to get done on a longer fiction piece.\u00a0 My goal is to take time to write every day in some form and post here at least twice a week if not more often.<\/p>\n
So, that said, here’s to keeping up and getting into a writing schedule!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
