It’s been a week. Actually, it’s been two weeks. Two weeks in which busy-ness (business?) (I looked it up, it’s busyness!) and tiredness sent me on a downward spiral in which I accomplished nothing, all the while dreaming of accomplishing everything. That last bit wasn’t motivation either, though, it was more of a, “wouldn’t that be nice,” kind of feeling if that makes sense.
Anywho, here I am, writing again. And after doing considerably too much thinking these past few weeks, I have a few things to write about, which is good.
Firstly, things are changing! Again! I reckon while I’m only small is the perfect time to muck around with, well, everything, in terms of normal things like the publication’s title and about page and whatnot, but I’m also thinking of throwing what this whole thing is about in there as well.
For the simple reason that I want to have fun.
I enjoy writing, I really do, but I don’t enjoy being put into a box with it, which is exactly what I did with this. There’s nothing wrong with writing about writing, but I don’t want to do it all the time. It gets…laborious. Some people can, I get that. But some people view this whole thing differently. It’s their business, their life, it’s who they are.
It’s not me.
I think that was the most important thing I’ve realised. Who I’ve been on here, hasn’t been me. It’s been a version of me that I thought would get the most subscribers. What’s the point of putting yourself out there if it’s not even yourself that you’re putting out there?
I don’t wanna be that anymore. I wanna be who I am. That sounds incredibly dramatic now that I write it down like that, but it’s the truth.
Damn. That also sounds dramatic.
On that note, things are changing around here. I’m changing back to my original title, changing up my about page, all that good stuff. You can expect to less writing stuff, and more everything.
I know what I want to do. I have a plan, kind of. But it’s a lot to explain here, so I’m thinking I’ll just wait and let you see.
How in the heck is all that only 385 words? I feel like I’ve written heaps!
If you like my style, here’s something else you might enjoy!
Here’s a few other posts I’ve read lately:
