Wow I don't know what I'm doing here at all. (SO MANY BUTTONS)
Here's the dealio:
I make videos on Youtube a lot, but my camera is majorly falling apart. My original plan was to get a shiny dslr-type deal for my high school graduation in roughly seven months, but that's a long time to keep all my thoughts bottled up instead of spewing them out on the internet like I'm used to. Frankly, I think my tumblr followers are sick of the vague "read mores" full of keyboard smashes, so I'm going to work on composing my thoughts more eloquently in a different space.
I want to blog every day in December... or at least the first 25, leading up to that magical day CHRISTMAS!!!!! My original intent was to make fun vlogs for those days, but even some camera repairs will have to wait until post-holiday funds are acquired.
I'm not only okay with the temporary switch from video blogging to written blogging-- I'm rather excited. I write a LOT for my schoolwork (signing up for an entirely language-based course load can do that to a person), and want to keep in good practice of writing for myself. I signed up for nanowrimo again this year, only to chicken out and fail to pen a single word. After years of writing essays and reporting and even the occasional piece of sketch comedy, I've built up a block to fiction writing in my head. I know the only way to get over that is to tackle it head-on, but it's going to have to wait until... we;lkj;sas;dlfkjas;dflkajd; well until I'm good and ready!
So much for a lack of keyboard smashes.
My friend Emily had a go at blogging awhile ago, and she liked to include little count-downs at the end of each post. I'm less organized than her, but I like the idea.
Days until Christmas: 29
College applications left to send: 1 (?)
Waiting for yay/nay: 3
Cups of Coffee Today: 2
Words Capitalized in this Post that Don't need to Be: A lot
What an exciting venture! Blogging every day seems like a really good thing to do for someone who wanted to do NaNoWriMo but couldn't. After all, they both aim for the exact same goal which is to write every day no matter what you're feeling--keyboard smashes and all. Can't wait for December! DFTBA
ReplyDeleteI am way too excited for this blog of yours! My english teacher made our class keep a blog as an assignment, so I'm sort of turned off of all things blogs right now. But i LOVE your youtube videos, and I know I will love whatever you write here.
ReplyDeleteAnd don't worry, you'll hear back from the schools soon!! It's a scary, anxiety-creating wait, but I'm sure you'll get in somewhere. Where did you apply?
