I think I want to blog in a different way, is my problem. I'm bored blabbing about myself, too lazy to really craft a story every few days, and really feeling limited by my expectations. Or rather, by trying to meet what I imagine to be others' expectations. For instance, I love playing with the look of the blog, trying on new templates and headers and such. But I've read it's best to pick one and stick with it, so I feel a little bit guilty whenever I change templates. Silly, I know.
How many times have I said I was going to start blogging MY way? Lots. I keep saying it, and I keep falling back into that same old rut. So I'm not going to say it anymore, and I'm just going to warn you.
Watch out! It's about to get crazy up in here!
Okay, maybe not crazy. But I do feel the need to experiment. I'd like to hit on something that can keep me interested and draw new regulars. Don't know what that'll be, but...
On a completely unrelated note, I've been having deja vu for a couple of days now. Lots of pings, such as while I was writing this post.
Crazy, eh? Well I can't wait to see what's coming down the pike on this bad boy. G'head, hit me with your craziness. I can deal with it. :)
ReplyDeleteOh great, pressure. I quit!
ReplyDeleteCrazy is a subjective term. For some people, crazy is not washing their hands after taking a quick piss. For other people, crazy is having carnal relations with a dead guy because rigor mortis lasts longer than the average erection.
ReplyDeleteSo, using these two examples, were the first example is a 1 and the second is a 10; on a scale of 1 to 10, how crazy is this gonna get?
I'd like to say 8 or 9, just short of the necrophilia range, but it'll probably be more like a 2. Maybe I'll get a new template.
ReplyDeleteDo what you wanna. It's YOUR blog, bwahahaha. Srsly. I write whatever the heck I feel like. In particular, I write about ideas I'm not planning on using at that particular moment, odd things I think of, or ranting about whatever.
ReplyDeleteStart the insanity!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, bring it on hon. :) I know you're dying to bust loose over there, so have at it!
Deja vu, huh? That's bizarre, because I had a weird dream about you a few days ago.
It used to be easy.
ReplyDeleteWhat, you're going to tell me that and then you're not going to elaborate? Hel-loooo!
ReplyDeleteHeh, sorry! Check your email. :)
ReplyDeleteI've changed templates, names, titles, themes, style, focus. I don't see why blogging has to be a rigid form. But it's ok to NOT blog for awhile too- maybe your creative energy is trying ot find a new outlet other than blogging? We creative types do seem to set up our own barriers to creating. I'm sure whatever you do will be interesting!
ReplyDeleteI'm doubting that right now, but we'll see, won't we?
ReplyDeleteMy creative energy is definitely focused on finalizing the book and getting it sent to my agent. This place feels like a guest bedroom. It's in my house but I only come in when I have to. It's a place to store things, nicely decorated but with an empty feel.
