Happy Blog End and Start Day (Belated)
I’m late. Later than usual, but I like to take the first of August as a day to wrap up what I’ve written on this blog in the year before and look ahead. One of my original ideas with the blog was that things shouldn’t go on forever, so this is my time to look at what I’m planning to do for the next year.
I suppose, as I always do, I should point out that I’m doing two things at once here (because I’m bad at being straightforward about things). The first thing is a project tracker, where I keep track of all the things I’ve worked on for myself. The second, one of those projects, is a blog where I … write … things.
This is my second attempt at writing this post. My first came out quite angry with myself and felt rather bilious when I looked back at it. In short, I’m a little frustrated that I haven’t been moving forward with creative projects, including the blog. I haven’t done a lot that’s really interesting with the blog this year, but I do have posts which I quite like on set similarity and Java Preferences. Also, while they may be deeply boring, I still enjoy posting the regular updates tracking the games I play and the books I read.
I want to do more creative things, and I want to give myself more grace that the things I do don’t have to be perfect. Maybe I'll write more here; maybe I won't. Maybe I'll write more somewhere else; maybe I won't. Maybe I'll dance the funky chicken; maybe I won't.
Thanks for following along and I’ll see you next August.
