Checking in and Changing Pace

I've disappeared for a bit there, partly because I was trying to focus my writing energy on other things and partly because my computer is getting worse at being a computer. But, I thought that I should check in a month after a lot of blogging just for the sake of checking in.

The thing is that I do't always feel that I have something that I want to say in long form blog type form, or at least, I don't feel like it is something that I would want to say here. But, at the same time, I sort of want to keep this going, maybe not as often as I would like and certainly not in the format that I thought it would be in at first.

I used to always think too much about the length of a specific blog post or what sort of topic that it should cover and how often that should be. I guess, to an extent, I wanted to be able to write something on regular basis to prove to myself that I can do it and if I were ever to try to get a job that had something to do with writing, I could  point to this blog and say "hey I can write about something almost everyday if I need to!"

But when I look back on a lot of my posts, well they aren't exactly the greatest and I think that is because I was pushing it a little too much. I want my posts to come more naturally and I think that will come with consistency but not a forceful one. I also think I stick with one simple format with my posts. Sure, this is not going to be as random as my Tumblr or as short as my Twitter, but I think changing things up a bit will be better for this blog and for me.

I am going to try to add more pictures here and give explanations to go along with them. Maybe through in some creative writing every once in a while instead of some semi-emo posts. Or maybe I'll just make posts of lists because I make lists for just about everything else. I mean, who even knows at this point?
