A few updates:
My second blog is gone now: I deleted it. In retrospect, I didn't post anything there I wouldn't post here, so it was really unnecessary. I manually archived the long posts (mostly for my benefit), and will use this blog as a combination of both. Not like I post anything on either blog, but it adds to the idea that needing two blogs was just a dumb idea.
Semester’s over, and it’s time for summer. I want to have more content to post here. I had a few thoughts for things I could do: flash-fiction Fridays, pre-planning posts, and a whole host of other ideas that aren't necessarily alliterative. I even had an idea to anonymously post some of my really-snarky comments on assignments I’m grading, since that seemed to make my friends laugh. If you have an idea for what to post, or just want to encourage me to do short, personal posts like a normal Tumblrer, send me something in my ask box.
I told my media friend that I was thinking about a new version of the thing that became the one post on my deleted blog. Details of the old thing are not important. The new thing is a podcast or non-videotaped content where I sit down with him and others and tell him and others about an idea I had. I have a lot of those, as you may know. Stuff like video games, TV shows, movies, or just whatever comes to mind. I might even talk about my writing projects. I found that by having someone else there to interact with in idea-pitching, I’m more comfortable about sharing the idea. Also, my friends are brilliant people, and they have great ideas, too. Usually this makes the sum of the ideas even more awesome. It’s loads better than staring at a box of half-finished drafts and wallowing in self-pity. Now I can tell someone about my ideas and wallow in self-pity! The whole “wallowing in self-pity” thing is a non-negotiable term in my “continued existence” contract. Now accepting names for this new podcast.
That should be everything. Oh, and I have a Twitter now. It’ll be easier to encourage me to to do shorter, personal posts there. I’m not using some long moniker there: it’s just Blaze Utz, my real name. It’s easier to type than servantofthewrittenword. Follow if you want to. I’m not your guardian; do what you want.
