Rewrite

Alright. Looks like it's time for another change. There needs to be one I think. I must keep experimenting. Some things are working and others are not. For example, the only constant is posting these weekly posts that are simply the "somewhat random musings of my ever-twitching fingers." To be honest though, while not particularly planned, I haven't exactly allowed my fingers to work their magic. Two good things came of the past two months and those are "Thoughts That Think" and "Before Your Eyes." I still have the last piece of the latter to post, and I'll let you know when I do. I will let everyone know what's going on via the new blog page on Facebook.

Let me try to organize this (more for my sake than yours).

1) Facebook Page

Yesterday I was messing around with details on my Facebook profile and saw that one of my listed jobs (Words Once Withered) did not link to anywhere (duh). So I decided to create a page for it to link to. And I haven't really done all that much with it, but my plan is to use it to allow a better "follower" system. People could subscribe to this blog via Blogger, but it's going to pester them with unwanted e-mails. Some people are okay with that. People like me are not. Also, I hate pestering people on my own Facebook page, so if I have a separate page for this blog, then not only can friends that like it see updates and posts, but also people who are not my friends on my personal page. Solves a bunch of problems. So if you haven't already, go like Words Once Withered on Facebook!

2) Mondays...Where I talk about things...No more recurring themes...Unless truly necessary

If you go back and look at the Monday posts of recent, you'll notice a common theme. I don't know what to write. My life is pointless. I want to do important things. And stuff. I'm going to try to cut back on unwanted content and deliver on fun, interactive, entertaining content. Unwanted content such as...

3) Reviews...Better known as "The Posts Everyone Skips Over"

I like doing book reviews because they keep me reading and writing. I like movie reviews because they give me an excuse to go out and watch good movies in theatres, or talk about movies everyone's already seen that I love. Well, this month is the last for book reviews, and there will be no more film reviews (but I'm still going to go watch movies). I will simply create a list of notable films and books. If you want to read/watch them, by all means. Otherwise they will just be pretty lists to look at.

4) Short Stories/Poetry

I will give you ALL the poetry and short stories in good time. But I'm going to stop creating new short stories. They are a lot of work and black holes of imagination. They're so short that they are almost not worth the effort. But...this doesn't mean I'm going to stop writing creatively. The whole point in short stories for the past six years has been to practice for the big leagues. But writing short stories is like practicing baseball T-ball style. I need to go out and practice like the big kids do. Maybe I'll win big, or maybe I'll fall short, but either way is practice and exactly what I need. We'll see what comes of it. I'll keep you posted. Heh. Get it?

5) Music

Yeah. I may have told you I would have a short story called "Closure" as well as a song with the same working title. Ironically, I have not provided you with any sort of closure regarding either of those really. I did plan to write a totally different story than "Before Your Eyes" as well as a song to accompany it, but that didn't work out, clearly. Alex and I planned to do a cover of a song to replace it, but my fingers died because I haven't played guitar in a while. We still might do the cover, but he will do guitar and I will be working on the piano parts. But from now on, I'm not planning any music posts. I love playing and creating music, but I'd like to focus on other things.

6) Pictures

Yeah. For reals, bro. There will be pictures. This place is going to start feeling pretty homey.

I suppose that's it really. This isn't much of a Monday post, but I had to give you something. Hopefully your day is better than this writing. Remember!
