Blog

Blogging is essentially paying a yearly subscription to own a diary.

What happens to a blog site you stop paying for, anyways? I like to imagine that, when my contract ends, they will send me threatening emails about how my dear little website will be incinerated if I don’t pay up. That’s far more dramatic than switching it to an archived state. I hope there’s a countdown in big red letters or exclamation marks in the header that read: Pay up, pay up!

I don’t write about myself often, but I read somewhere that if you want to be a writer then you should write every single day, which isn’t backed up by science or studies though it does seem so very inspiration, doesn’t it? I don’t write every day; I won’t write every day. It’d be dishonest to make the promise to myself that, no matter how hard or existentially impossible the day, I’ll squirrel away a few hours to jot down my thoughts. It’s hard enough to write fiction, but to reflect on myself daily? No thank you! Some people live large swaths of their lives without self-reflection and I don’t think my brain could take a daily dive into its darkest depths. It’s far easier to write about fungi kingdoms, scheming pirates, and other strange fictionlets. So no, I will never write daily.

Still, I’ll write some.

I don’t have big plans for this website. Mostly I wanted a pretty little portfolio that links the stories I’ve been lucky enough to get published. As for the actual website, I could blog about anything! Movies, trips, birds, fetishes, video games, or railroad tracks. That’s a fun bit of domain hosted freedom.
