Befuzzlement
I’m honestly not entirely sure what to blog about.
When I wrote Egotistical Priest, I had a clear theme.
When I worked on Choose, that also had a very clear focus … and being so very entrenched in writing also gave my personal blog a focus.
Now, though? Now, I feel singularly ill equipped for posting writing advice. Not the least of which is because the internet fairly bristles with resources willing to tell you exactly how to solve your creative woes.
YOU
The thing is, those of you who follow me here? You’re not here because of a particular video game. You’re not waiting for the writing advice that will change your life. You’re not even here for cute cat pictures.
You’re here to hang out with me and each other, and I am an amalgam of all those hobbies and more.
I have several friends with personal blogs who I follow because I like hearing them talk, not necessarily because I feel what they have to say will shake me to my foundations. I love when they post about things that I personally care more about, but I also enjoy their random life posts.
I have no expectations on what they do, I am just happy they are doing it.
Hodge-Podge Permission
So I’m giving myself permission to have a random, hodge-podge sort of blog here. I am unhitching myself from my own skewed vision of Other’s Expectations.
And I’m going to do it for my writing as well as my blogging. It’s no surprise that one of the things halting my progress is worry (no, not even that. Absolute Certainty) that I will not produce writing up to my old standards.
How could I? I’m a different person than I was back then.
But the looming spectre of disappointing you refuses to budge, even though I know it’s ridiculous.
It’s ridiculous and it’s keeping me from blogging because I don’t want to bore you with totally random topics.
It’s ridiculous and it’s keeping me from writing because I worry that I’ll be letting you down.
In both cases, I’m letting not just you but also MYSELF down. Which is just silly.
*Cue the Disney Music*
So here’s my equally silly announcement to my readers — be prepared for … anything, really.
Both in blogging and in writing. <3
How’s about you just write stuff (including Writing!), and we’ll let you know if it’s up to snuff? (Hint: Even not-so-great Tami is better than most everyone else; I’ve been reading quite a bit of late, and I see stuff in books where I think, “Tami never would have done that. Sheesh, Author!”) (Honest!)
And a hodge-podge here is just peachy (and I’m sure nearly everyone will agree!). In fact, I’ve been kinda sorta half-tempted to do the same sort of thing (because I am, after all, nothing more than a hodge-podge).
You know I would follow you in a heartbeat if you made a blog!
*hugs* Thanks, Kestrel. <3
PS: You could always start Vol. II (or is it IV?) of Choose.
Lol, it is absodefinitely not lack of projects stalling my fingers. That one is top of mind for sure (I do miss it, such a fun concept!) but I have other ideas that are more ready to bear fruit at the moment.

This is absurdly happy-making. <3
