I'm thinking about blogging again.
Sometimes it feels like the more I try to blog, the more I get in the way of my blogging. I think it's because I overcomplicate things: I analyse everything my blog is meant to be and then I pigeonhole myself to write with that purpose. Then life gets in the way and by the time I want to write again I have a different point. Gone are the heady, simple days, where "Baby Got Brit" was a place for me to spout whatever random nonsense I was thinking. As I realised I liked to write, and people told me they enjoyed reading it, it began to be more important that my thoughts were organised. And - BANG - the charm is gone. I had many dreams of what my blog would be. I got "Analogise That", the point of which was never fully realised I don't think, though it was fun for a while. Life took over, as it does, and "Communicate" never went anywhere much. The troubling thing is that in the past year or so I've probably seen and learned quite a bit, then forgotten most of it. There's only ever time to live or write about it, but not, I find, to do both.
Blah blah blah, how boring. Basically, I tried to do something with words that never really happened. And on that premise I'm (conflictingly) doing it again. Not to say that I've written off this one, as if is pretty generic and I might treat it as a safe place to chit chat (in theory anyway), but I miss writing regularly, and being the person I was when I wrote. I think it could be an interesting experiment as I've come up with a concept that might be quite fun. So then, here's to yet another new beginning...
