| Oh shit, I still have one of these don't I? |

Does anyone even still have me on their friends list? Hello?
I can't say I'm surprised I've let this journal languish for so long. Probably the thing that keeps me from posting here more is that I don't consider my life very interesting. On a good day, I spend the day at the house of my future mother-in-law doing laundry and playing FFTA2. On a bad day, the post would read something like "I went to work, picked up my fiance from work, came back home, went to sleep." And who the fuck really wants to read that? Oh yeah, that's the other thing. I got engaged, and it never crossed my mind to post an update about that. I like keeping my private life PRIVATE and off the internet. I don't see this as a negative in the grand scheme of things, but it's not very conducive to a site you're supposed to be using to keep everyone updated on your situation.
So, obviously keeping this thing as an online diary has failed miserably, as my last relevant post being years ago can probably attest. So I'm thinking about what to do with this. It seems like such a waste to just delete it (after all, it doesn't cost me anything to upkeep it), so I figure there must be some niche it can fill. Did anyone even read the short fiction I posted last time? I dunno. I'd like to keep this journal as a place for writing stuff, but I don't have the urge to post short fiction often because my plots grow too complex too quickly (I was once accused of being unable to have a walk-on character that didn't have a complex backstory). I might post excerpts of whatever I'm working on, maybe as a way to keep the creative juices flowing and get some feedback on it. And I DO plan to do NaNoWriMo this year, so this might be a neat place to keep track of my progress.
I don't want to promise frequent updates, but I do want to at least make my intentions known. Anyway, it's time to clear out a few cobwebs and do a little dusting. You know how these old places get when they haven't been used in a while... |
