THAT BLANK PAGE STARING AT YOU

(Or the Why, What, and How of (My) Blogging)

It sounds like an easy thing, the blogging. Simply open the page… and write something. Anything you want.

You take a moment. And you sit down and write.

Well, no.

It doesn’t work quite so easily. I’m sure every person has something to tell the world, but sometimes, it is so hard to realise what that something is. Sometimes, nothing seems like a thing worth hearing. Or maybe it just seems boring. Or you’re allowed to write about a too wide range of topics. Whatever the case, you need to get used to writing, used to the fact you can (and should, in this case) put things down. It’s a process, I think, and it takes some time, some reading, and some writing to get the feeling what goes on a blog and what doesn’t, what goes on which blog, and so on.

This automatically means that no, you can’t always write about anything. Me—I have tumblr for all the fandom-related ranting. This is just… for everything else. Thing that don’t belong to tumblr because they are tidbits of everyday life rather than thoughts revolving around certain topics.

I don’t think there’s ever a real answer to the ‘why’.  Because. It’s always just because. There are things in my head, and then I take them out. It might keep my brain from exploding, I don’t know.

Also, let’s not even get me started on how I get these things written because it’s messy. So very messy. I’d like to say no circus animals ever get harmed in the creation of the posts… but it might be a lie (speaking of lies, I do so want to rant about that, too. Sometime in the future).

Good. Since I’ve successfully rambled for half a page now without telling anything of importance, how about something about me? Yes, that means more rambling. No, I don’t feel like explaining things on the list.

·         Cat-person.

·         Addicted to black eyeliner, fiction, and chocolate.

·         Irregular meetings with 3 a. m.

·         Apparently, the right half of my brain is the dominant one (not sure what anyone can begin with that, but okay).

·         I smell books.

·         And buy books.

·         Too many books.

·         Fandoms. Fanfiction. Rp. Tumblr.

·         Don’t try to make me turn off the music.

·         Hiddleston’s army. Just because. Loki’s resistance. Because reasons.

·         Bad puns. Occasionally good puns.

·         Not a morning person, period.
