“If a story is in you, it has to come out.” William Faulkner
Over the past few days my blog has seen a pretty major overhaul! I published a new, large post, added several new pages, updated others, and even put it all into a new theme that I think suits the tone of this website a little better than the last. And let me tell you- it’s been way more fun than it should be. I was practically giggling like a schoolgirl when I was surfing through the hundreds of possible themes I could give this site. Researching that post made me trawl through dozens of obscure facts and fascinating research. It was amazing! The more I write on this blog, the more I enjoy it. It’s gotten to the point where every time I successfully finish a post and publish it, I experience something I can only describe as a writer’s high.
It’s like a burst of adrenaline that makes me want to write even more, and it’s usually what spurs me to make another post right after, like this one. I like to think of them as sidenotes or behind the scenes posts, explaining my ever-changing opinion on blogs and the things I’ve learned about them (they’re under the “news” category if you want them all). It is, of course, murder to have to wait until at least one day after my previous post to publish them- but, like the families of Krakatoa, I don’t want to oversaturate the market with blog posts. Of course I’m not comparing my posts to diamonds, but… the principle is the same.
Writing as I am still under the effect of this high, I think I’m sober enough to say that I’m definitely in love with blogging. At least I’m enjoying my whirlwind romance with it. Hopefully it develops into something that can stand the test of time. In the meantime, I’ll keep posting, and I hope you guys keep reading!
