I know some people have messaged me here and elsewhere asking me not to stop writing. Change the name, the focus... but don't go.
The reason I need to cut back? ...I have three blogs and a number of side projects and cannot give time or focus to all of them. This particular blog was only supposed to be a one-year thing. My second, Un-Extrordinary Adventures of Fangirl, is primarily a collection of videos and links to things I personally find interesting and cool. Its updates are infrequent at the moment. The third, Scribbles and Bits, is a project that has been in the works for the better part of a year. What was supposed to be a colaboration between a few other nerds and I, quickly became a solo endeavor and was retooled after our original vision went south. After finally getting off the ground (though, the page itself still looks bare), posts there are twice a week: a Sunday posting, and a second (more thought out) post later in the week.
The major difference is that this blog has everything and is rather scattered (a far cry from last year when there were a list of goals and the blog was a way to share what I was doing and learning through all of it). The other two have more of a purpose or focus. Fangirl is a place for my nerdy side: videos of dances, interesting remixes, advice from the Green brothers of the popular "Vlogbrothers" channel on YouTube. Scribbles... though new, has a bit more discipline for me. Sundays are light, comprised of videos or photos. Any other post would be things that weigh on my mind or otherwise cause me to take pause and reflect proplerly on a subject. The posts are still short in length, but as time goes on I'm expecting to find my footing with it.
Until I can decide on what to do with OY,SC (close up shop? hiatus? set out goals for 2012 and start again at New Years?), I'm probably not going to post here. I've given myself a deadline of New Years to try making Fangirl work (schedule-wise) and give Scribbles a shot. If you've got a suggestion... I'm all ears. Otherwise, I thank you for being patient through all of this.
