Musings

I suppose I'll join the fun.

In truth, I expected a few people to miss the deadline - but I did not consider myself one of them. Generally, when push comes to shove, I can meet deadlines. I can't guarantee quality, but I can at least guarantee completion.

But that didn't happen. I struggled quite a bit this week deciding on what to write, and even more on how to write it. I spent several hours Saturday morning just doing draft after draft, but nothing stuck. No matter what I wrote, I hated both the concept and the words on the page, and I quickly trashed it to move on to other work.

I think I misjudged my free time overall, which has been a major hurdle. I no longer have the luxury of sitting in front of my home computer 10 hours a day; being able to drop whatever I am doing when inspiration hits me, and write until the words stop flowing. Now I need to plan in advance what I want to write, when I'll write it, and generally how long it'll be. It's quite the killer for productivity. At best, I can get 2 minutes to write down an idea when one comes, quickly jotting it on a notepad then stuffing it into my pocket, leaving it more or less dead.

I'm thinking of, perhaps, changing the format of the blog a bit - not because people missed the deadline, but because I have some other ideas for how to tackle things. It may be better to present this more of a general blog; urging people to talk about what they're working on, rather than going straight to publishing some story that's been festering. Any sort of outlet may be enough to encourage people to finish a piece, or at least let them get their ideas on paper.

In any case, I don't think we have any viewers yet - so these posts are mostly just for us to communicate amongst ourselves. Let us hope that we can meet this week's deadline, but let us not hope too much.

Another Excuse

I sort of expected everyone to miss the deadline, but I am disappointed in myself for not meeting it as well. I have an idea of what I'm going to write now i just have to plan it out.




  See y'all soon,

More Excuses

Seems pretty much everyone missed the first deadline, but I'm not really that surprised. It was kind of expected.

I'm gonna try my damnedest to meet this next, coming deadline, because if I don't then the blog was pointless, but I'm trying to think of how the narration should go.

Anyway,

Excuses

How embarrassing.

I knew I wouldn't be able to keep it up for long but on the first deadline? Kuyashi.

Due to the format I have chosen to present the story it is a lot more difficult to translate what's in my head on screen. Hopefully I'll have it done by next weekend. If not, I'll just present it as is or write it as simple prose.

Also I've been ill since last Sunday, plenty of important real life work I've been skipping on as a result. Feel sympathy towards me hue hue hue.

See you next week.

Love,
Senpai.

Intro

       My fellow bloggers,
Expect a lot of mystical, funny, and dark writings. Writing a little intro because kisshit told me to. So as I was saying. I'll be posting mostly every Tuesday, if I'm running late, then Thursday will be my backup day. Signing out see y'all Tuesday!

Yo, yo. Yo.

I've been harassing this blog's admin (don't trust his username, by the way) to just sit down and start this thing already. Apparently he has, finally. So now here I am as well, bad at introductions and stuff.

I like the fantastical or the strange. Usually when I read a book I don't stop, through hunger or sleep or anything important, until it's finished. Unfortunately I can't say the same for what I write, so let's see what we get here.
